What is this lawsuit about?
In July 2010, we reached a settlement with Burger King Corp concerning ten restaurants in Northern California. This investigation concerns 86 other California Burger King® restaurants leased to or from Burger King Corporation that we believe have barriers that prevent customers who use wheelchairs or scooters from the full, independent and equal enjoyment of the restaurants' goods and services.
Who are the attorneys investigating this matter?
The same attorneys who reached a settlement in the earlier litigation are now investigating these 86 restaurants:
Fox & Robertson, P.C.;
Lewis, Feinberg, Lee, Renaker & Jackson P.C , and
Mari Mayeda.
Together, these firms have extensive class action and disability rights experience. Click to learn more.
How do I know if the Burger King® restaurant I went to is covered by this class action?
The restaurants that are covered in this action are listed on this page.
Please note that this means that if you would like to pursue claims against other Burger King® locations, you will need to do so on your own, and there are legal deadlines that limit the time you have to file a lawsuit.
What are some types of architectural barriers that Plaintiffs contend are found, or have existed in the past, at covered Burger King® restaurants?
Some common architectural barriers include:
|
Inadequate or insufficient accessible parking; |
|
Parking lots or sidewalks that are difficult to traverse because of steep cross slopes; |
|
Doors that are difficult to open; |
|
Queue lines (the lines where customers line up to place orders) that are too narrow for persons who use wheelchairs or scooters; |
|
Inaccessible seating areas; |
|
Inaccessible condiment or drink dispensers; and |
 |
Inaccessible restrooms. |
