Case Summary
According to the complaint, Morgan Cole, a visually impaired individual, is suing Homeaglow Inc for failing to make its website accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Cole alleges that the website contains significant barriers that prevent blind and visually impaired users from independently accessing its services, including booking cleaning services. The complaint cites various accessibility issues, such as lack of alternative text for images and reliance on mouse navigation, which hinder Cole's ability to use the website. Cole seeks a permanent injunction to require Homeaglow to make its website accessible and compensatory damages for the discrimination faced.
