Summary
According to the complaint, LISA ANDERSON, a visually impaired individual, is suing Rajul Patel Professional Corporation for failing to make its website, https://puredentalspa.com, accessible to blind users. The complaint alleges that the website contains significant access barriers that prevent visually impaired individuals from independently navigating and using the site, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
