CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. is facing claims from two plaintiffs who allege that the defendant’s parking lots discriminate against people who use wheelchairs. According to the suit, the defendant owns, manages, and develops properties such as malls and “open-air centers.” The plaintiffs attempted to visit two of the company’s properties, but were unable to access parts of the parking lots due to excessive slopes, the suit alleges. The complaint further claims that some of the defendant’s properties also lack van-accessible parking spaces. The suit alleges violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which protects the rights of disabled individuals to access places of public accommodation. Both plaintiffs say they intend to visit CBL’s properties once the access barriers are removed.
