A wheelchair-bound plaintiff has filed a proposed class action lawsuit in which she claims defendant Chickie’s and Pete’s restaurant in Philadelphia unlawfully lacks parking spaces that can accommodate her modified mini-van, which is equipped with an automatic side-ramp. According to the complaint, the alleged lack of van-accessible parking at the defendant’s restaurant denied the plaintiff full and equal access to the services therein.

Using pictures of the parking lot surrounding the defendant’s restaurant, the complaint alleges the plaintiff “experienced difficulty and unnecessary risk” due to the lack of van-accessible parking, an alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that the case says has existed “for years.”
