Plaintiff Rusty Rendon alleges that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.venetian.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.venetian.com<\/a> is not accessible per the WCAG 2.0 accessibility standard(s).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"legal_case_details\">\n<h2>Case Details<\/h2>\n<h3>Plaintiff alleges issues in its Complaint including the following:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"indented-text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Missing alternative text which presents a problem because an image without alternative text results in an empty link. Alternative Text is invisible code embedded beneath a graphical image on a website. Web accessibility requires that Alternative Text be coded with each picture so that a screen reader can speak the Alternative Text where a sighted user sees pictures. Alternative Text does not change the visual presentation, but instead generates a text box that will pop-up when the mouse moves over the picture. The lack of Alternative Text on these graphics prevents screen readers from accurately vocalizing a description of the graphics;<\/li>\n<li>Linked image missing alternative text which presents a\u00a0problem because an image without alternative text results in an empty link. Images that are the only\u00a0thing within a link must have descriptive alternative text. If an image is within a link that contains no\u00a0text and that image does not provide alternative text, a screen reader has no content to present to the\u00a0user regarding the function of the link<\/li>\n<li>Empty or missing form labels which presents a problem because, if a form control does not have a properly associated text label, the function or purpose of that form control may not be presented to screen reader users. Form \u00a0labels provide visible descriptions and larger clickable targets for form controls.<\/li>\n<li>Empty links which present a problem because a link contains no text. If a link contains no text, the function or purpose of the link will not be presented to the user. This can introduce confusion for keyboard and screen reader users;<\/li>\n<li>Broken ARIA reference swhich presents a problem because an aria-labelled by or aria-described by reference exists<\/li>\n<li>Broken ARIA menu, which presents a problem because an ARIA menu\u00a0does not contain required menu items. ARIA menus are application menus (like those used in\u00a0software menu) with a specific keyboard interactions. They are NOT for navigation links on a web site\u00a0and must contain at least one menu item, menu item checkbox, or menu item radio element<\/li>\n<li>Redundant Links where adjacent links go to the same URL address which results in additional\u00a0navigation and repetition for keyboard and screen reader users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Plaintiff asserts the following cause(s) of action in its Complaint:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"indented-text\">\n<p>Violations of the Unruh Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code \u00a7 51 et seq.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Plaintiff seeks the following relief by way of its Complaint:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"indented-text\">\n<ul>\n<li>For a judgment that Defendant violated Plaintiff\u2019s rights under the Unruh Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code \u00a7 51 et seq.<\/li>\n<li>For a preliminary and permanent injunction requiring Defendant to take the steps necessary to make the Website readily accessible to and usable by visually impaired individuals; but Plaintiff hereby expressly limits the injunctive relief to require that Defendant expend no more $20,000 as the cost of injunctive relief<\/li>\n<li>An award of statutory minimum damages of $4,000 per violation pursuant to section 52(a) of the California Civil Code; however, Plaintiff expressly limits the total amount of recovery, including statutory damages, attorneys\u2019 fees and costs, and cost of injunctive relief not to exceed $74,999<\/li>\n<li>For attorneys\u2019 fees and expenses pursuant to all applicable laws including, without limitation, California Civil Code \u00a7 52(a); however, Plaintiff expressly limits the total amount of recovery, including statutory damages, attorneys\u2019 fees and costs, and cost of injunctive relief not to exceed $74,999<\/li>\n<li>For pre-judgment interest to the extent permitted by law<\/li>\n<li>For costs of suit<\/li>\n<li>For such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plaintiff Name: Rusty Rendon Filing date: January 4, 2021 State of filing: California Defendant Name: Venetian Casino Resort LLC Website: www.venetian.com Industry: Hotel, Restaurant and Leisure Summary: The Venetian Casino Resort is one the largest and most-famed complexes on the Las Vegas Strip featuring a hotel, casinos, restaurants, entertainment, convention space, and more.
