Disabled Monroe woman files federal lawsuits over access at businesses in ...
The Monroe woman, a mother of two and motivational speaker, has filed dozens of federal lawsuits in several states alleging ADA violations. She has filed six this year in the Western District of Michigan, targeting Baymont Inn & Suites near the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, and the Comfort Inn, Bob Evans and Denny’s in Holland, among others.
Born with spina bifida, Caruso has served on the President’s Committee for the Disabled and was Ms. Wheelchair Michigan in 1987.
Frustrated by accessibility issues, she has taken legal action to get businesses to comply with the ADA.
“Enough is enough,” Caruso said recently. “Everybody deserves to have equal access. If I want to go to a place, why can’t I go to the place?”
She said her goal is to increase accessibility for others. Too many business owners won’t make changes unless they’re called out legally, she said.
