Plaintiff Abelardo Martinez, Jr. alleges that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fresh.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.fresh.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<br \/>\nvisual 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>Empty or missing form labels which presents a problem\u00a0because, 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 is 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 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>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>A preliminary and permanent injunction to prohibit Defendant from violating the\u00a0Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 12182, et seq., N.Y. Exec. Law \u00a7 296, et<br \/>\nseq., and N.Y.C. Administrative Code \u00a7 8-107, et seq., and the laws of New York;<\/li>\n<li>A preliminary and permanent injunction requiring Defendant to take all the steps necessary to make its App into full compliance with the requirements set forth in the ADA, and its implementing regulations, so that the App is readily accessible to and usable by\u00a0blind individuals;<\/li>\n<li>A declaration that Defendant owns, maintains and\/or operates its App in a manner which\u00a0discriminates against the blind and which fails to provide access for persons with disabilities as required by Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 12182, et seq., N.Y. Exec. Law \u00a7 296, et seq., and N.Y.C. Administrative Code \u00a7 8-107, et seq., and the laws of New York;<\/li>\n<li>An order directing Defendants to continually update and maintain its App to ensure that it remains fully accessible to and usable by the visually-impaired;<\/li>\n<li>Compensatory damages in an amount to be determined by proof, including all applicable statutory damages and fines, to Plaintiff for violations of their civil rights under New York State Human Rights Law and City Law;<\/li>\n<li>Plaintiff\u2019s reasonable attorneys\u2019 fees, expenses, and costs of suit as provided by state and federal law;<\/li>\n<li>For pre- and post-judgment interest to the extent permitted by law; and<\/li>\n<li>For such other and further relief which this court deems just and proper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plaintiff Name: Abelardo Martinez, Jr. Filing date: February 22, 2021 State of filing: California Defendant Name: Fresh Inc.
