Plaintiff Cheryl Thurston alleges that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesalonviva.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.thesalonviva.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>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 labels provide visible descriptions and larger clickable targets for form controls;<\/li>\n<li>Empty links that contain no text causing the function or purpose of the link to not be presented to the user. This can introduce confusion for keyboard and screen reader users; and<\/li>\n<li>Linked image missing alternative text which presents a problem 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 the 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<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Plaintiff asserts the following cause(s) of action in its Complaint:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"indented-text\">\n<p>Unruh Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code \u00a7 51 <em>et seq<\/em>.<\/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; and<\/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: Cheryl Thurston Filing date: February 3, 2020 State of filing: California Defendant Name: Salon Viva One Inc.
