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.

Sad you cant get past anything. They have doctors for these things you know!
Paranoid Personality Disorder
Suspicious
An unmistakable sign of paranoia is continual mistrust. People with paranoid personality disorder are constantly on their guard because they see the world as a threatening place. They tend to confirm their expectations by latching on to any speck of evidence that supports their suspicions and ignore or misinterpret any evidence to the contrary. They are ever watchful and may look around for signs of a threat.
Anyone in a new situation-beginning a job or starting a relationship, for example-is cautious and somewhat guarded until he or she learns that the fears are groundless. People suffering from paranoia cannot abandon their fears. They continue to expect trickery and to doubt the loyalty of others. In a personal relationship or marriage, this suspiciousness may take the form of pathological, unrealistic jealousy.
Hypersensitive
Because persons with paranoid personality disorder are hyper alert, they notice any slight and may take offense where none is intended. As a result, they tend to be defensive and antagonistic. When they are at fault, they cannot accept blame, not even mild criticism. Yet they are highly critical of others. Other people may say that these individuals make “mountains out of molehills.”
Cold and Aloof
In addition to being argumentative and uncompromising, the people with paranoid personality disorder are often emotionally cut off from other people. They appear cold and, in fact, often avoid becoming intimate with others. They pride themselves on their rationality and objectivity. People with a paranoid outlook on life rarely come to the attention of clinicians–it is not in their nature to seek help. Many presumably function competently in society. They may seek out social niches in which a moralistic and punitive style is acceptable, or at least tolerated to a certain degree.
anyhow, out of here. Glad to have the honor to chat with MOST of you.
i hear all she does is sit in her wheel chair feeding the animals
and planting crops on her farm maybe she sells beef or potatoes to burger king lol
did you ever notice that some one always talks about the people that were frauds!! like this person even has a clue.or does this person have first hand knowledge about what it takes to be a fraud i mean how can you trust a person with so many names!!! go take your meds lol
Ok, great. Thanks.
Oh, second check to first group of eligible claimants was $358.315 per valid visit, so Alex was a bit off on the percentage, more like 13.4%. Very awesome! Total a claimant received per valid visit was $3014.93. Not as much as was predicted by many but still a lot and I know many are very thankful, including me.
waiting, I bet yours will show up tomorrow. As for them turning people to a recorded message now, I really am surprised they did not do that a lot soon.
they arent taking calls anymore they send you off to a stupid recording that says just pretty much everything that was on the letter attached to the first check
Hey, anyone who got a first check still not get their second one?
2 checks, go re-read the settlement agreement; it says right there on the first page “1.3 Named Plaintiffs each use a wheelchair or scooter for mobility and each claim to be a person with a disability as that term is used in the Americans with Disabilities Act.”
honny, get the chip off; you dont know wtf u r talkin about & no one is throwing anything in anyone’s face; just seems to be posting what came directly from the court papers.
and yeah, gcg asked for more paperwork from some who sent in paperwork but they couldn’t verify it, though it seemed maybe valid but they could not validate it; they gave people another chance who asked for it properly and whose claim form had the correct problems listed for the bk they visited. Sadly due to the amount of fake claims put in, some who filed real claims got denied in the shuffle, but that was because their documentation wasn’t able to be validated.
me, I enjoy reading the near thousand comments; it is interesting and hilarious too
