UPDATE 3.12.13: Court approves extension of settlement payout deadline to allow Class Members more time to submit documents supporting their claims.
A California federal judge on Friday approved a $19 million class action lawsuit settlement with Burger King Corp. over allegations its restaurants do not provide wheelchair access in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Class Members of the Burger King settlement stand to receive over $8,200 each, according to the Class Counsel.
The Burger King wheelchair access settlement will resolve a 2011 class action lawsuit, titled Vallabhapurapu, et al v. Burger King Corporation, that alleges 86 Burger King restaurants in California have – or have had any time since October 2006 – barriers to customers who use wheelchairs or scooters. Examples of these types of barriers include: narrow “queue lines,” doors that are too narrow or difficult to open; inaccessible restrooms, seating and parking; inaccessible condiments, napkins and other items; and other wheelchair or scooter access problems.
Burger King denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to establish a $19 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation, as well as to provide significant injunctive relief. The company has already removed most of the alleged access barriers at the restaurants involved and will be making additional improvements to access.
Class Members of the Burger King wheelchair access class action settlement include all customers who use a wheelchair or scooter for mobility and encountered access problems at one of the 86 California Burger King restaurants listed here and on the second page of the Settlement Notice.
Plaintiff attorneys estimate the average recovery per Class Member will be over $8,200, after deductions for attorney’s fees and costs.
The ONLY way to receive money from the Burger King ADA class action lawsuit settlement is to submit a Claim Form by November 15, 2012. You can obtain a Claim Form by visiting www.BurgerKingClassAction.net or by calling 1-888-569-9477. If you do not opt-in, you will not be eligible to receive any money from the settlement fund.

Lawsuit was about being in a wheelchair at the time when you visit bk. meaning you don’t have to be disabled. You could just had a broken toe and didn’t feel like walking. There are people who was in a wheelchair for a month who got checks and others who were in a wheelchair for a few days. That’s why a doctors note was not needed only a receipt that you bought a wheelchair
Yes I am mad also I have been in a wheel chair for over 20 year’s I sent in paper work from Medicare showing that they had purchased two wheel chair’s for me in a span of 10 year’s I also submitted a doctor’s letter with a receipt showing that I had to pay the doctor for the letter and I got every thing in on time because I faxed it in.
its so funny to watch you boast about getting a check and telling every one that didnt that only your shit dont stink and then calling people frauds and telling them that they didnt know what they where doing all in the same breath a lot of what gcg ask for had nothing to do with proving that you have a limited mobility disability as per US Code!!! they did ask for other things and then turned around and said your claim was deined due to the fact that you didnt give some thing that they didnt ask for
case in point!! gcg ask for a letter from a doctor stating that you were in a wheel chair for mobility! not what your disability was! gcg asked for a receipt from a medical equipment provider!! they never check these and may have lied about the fact that they did your just boasting and yes i did get my checks
you just had to send in verifiable proof that you have a limited mobility disability as per US Code during the time frame. I do not know anyone who did not have to send in stuff from a doctor that was not a original claimant or did not provide valid paper to prove such when they mailed in their claim form. I mean a lot of people who got claims are mad cos so many others filed last minute claims merely using the information given on the settlement agreement and getting a check even though those were false claims filed
I know that it was a chance that I may not get a check but the problem I am having is that if everybody did’nt have to send in more information no one should have been asked to and further more it is total discrimination against a few people and not every one and yes I will be filling a small claim’s against g.c.g and fox Roberts.
Claim form said 13. Filing this claim does not automatically guarantee that you will receive a monetary award as part of the settlement of
these cases. Your claim and the information you provide will be subject to review and verification by the Claims Administrator. You may be asked to provide additional information to support your claim. If you do not respond to a request for additional information by the date such response is due, your claim will be denied.
So I think since you received nothing, then yes you can. But you should read about the new law that passed at the beginning of the year first. http://www.jacksonlewis.com/resources.php?NewsID=4205 you should ask an attorney, they can tell you best and usually at a no cost consultation.
2nd check is $2,100 well mine is.
i think the partys you need to sue is gag and or the lawyers the hire them i have done this before and won

$10,000 (effective January 1, 2012), except that a plaintiff may not file a claim over $2,500 more than twice a year. Limit for local public entity or for businesses is $5,000. $6,500 is the limit in suits by an individual against a guarantor that charges for its guarantor or surety services.

when a company does business in the state of california you can sue them in smalls claims court for $10,000.
Does anyone know if gag rejects your claim can you still sue Burger King on your own.
Sorry I meant. Hobby bobo
