Amerco, Inc. is the defendant in a proposed class action in which a wheelchair-reliant Pennsylvania consumer claims the company’s facilities are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The lawsuit alleges Amerco has “systematically discriminated against” individuals’ mobility disabilities by failing to remedy inaccessible parking lots and paths of travel at its facilities.

The plaintiff claims she experienced “unnecessary difficulty and risk” when she visited the defendant’s Washington Blvd. location in Pittsburgh.

“Without injunctive relief, [the plaintiff] will continue to be unable to fully and safely access [the defendant’s] facilities in violation of her rights under the ADA,” the complaint reads.

The case goes on to allege at least seven of the defendant’s properties across Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Carolina and New York lack van-accessible parking spaces, among other brick-and-mortar ADA infractions.
