Plaintiff Luis Licea alleges that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapquest.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.mapquest.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<br \/>\nproblem because an image without alternative text results in an empty link. Images that are the only thing within a link must have descriptive alternative text. If an image is within a link that contains no text and that image does not provide alternative text, a screen reader has no content to present to the user regarding the function of the link;<\/li>\n<li>Empty or missing form labels which presents a problem<br \/>\nbecause, 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 labels provide visible descriptions and larger clickable targets for form controls;<\/li>\n<li>Empty buttons, which present a problem because a button<br \/>\nis empty or has no value text. When navigating to a button, descriptive text must be presented to screen reader users to indicate the function of the button;<\/li>\n<li>Empty table header, which presents a problem because a heading contains no content. Some users, especially keyboard and screen reader users, often navigate by heading elements. An empty heading will present no information and may<br \/>\nintroduce confusion;<\/li>\n<li>Broken ARIA references, which presents a problem because an aria-labelled by or aria-described by reference exists, but the target for the reference does not exist. ARIA labels<br \/>\nand descriptions will not be presented if the element referenced does not exist in the page; and<\/li>\n<li>Redundant Links where adjacent links go to the same URL address which results in additional navigation 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: Luis Licea Filing date: January 4, 2021 State of filing: California Defendant Name: System1 LLC Website: www.mapquest.com Industry: Internet Software and Services Summary: Mapquest is an online web mapping service with a mobile app and related travel products.
