Two plaintiffs with mobility disabilities claim in a proposed class action lawsuit that defendant DDR Corp. systematically discriminates against individuals covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) due to inaccessible parking lots and travel paths on the company’s properties. The lawsuit claims physical barriers—namely excessive slopes in purportedly accessible parking spaces—at six of the defendant’s properties in Eerie, Pennsylvania caused the plaintiffs and proposed class members “unnecessary difficulty and risk” in violation of the ADA.

The case goes on to allege, citing investigations conducted by the plaintiffs’ counsel, that DDR Corp.-owned properties throughout Arizona, Colorado, and Florida also contain physical ADA violations, including excessively sloped curb ramps and unmarked accessible parking spaces.
