GOOD NEWS: Patron With Low Vision Sued McDonald's And Burger King

In New York a patron with low vision sued McDonald's and Burger King for not providing a large print menu.

The law requires that restaurants provide effective communication by giving auxiliary aids and related services to patrons with low vision. Auxiliary aids include qualified readers, sound devices and large print. The patron must request an effective communication method and the restaurant can decide which method to give. So the restaurant can read the menu and bill. Alternatively, staff can play a sound recording of the menu and bill.   Lastly, the staff can give a large print menu and bill.    If one of these methods is offered then the patron cannot file a lawsuit.

Effective communication cases depend on witness testimony. So the patron should have a witness and record the communication exchange. In court restaurant staff will always say they offered an effective communication method.


The fast food patron won the lawsuit on appeal.
