Invicta website class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Daniel Rodriguez filed a class action lawsuit against Invicta Watch Company of America Inc.
- Why: Rodriguez claims Invicta failed to make its website fully accessible to individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.
Invicta Watch Company of America failed to make its website fully accessible to individuals who are blind or legally impaired, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Daniel Rodriguez claims Invicta failed to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website in a way that would make it independently usable for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
Rodriguez, a blind man, argues Invicta’s alleged failure to make its website fully accessible equates to denying individuals who are blind or visually impaired the equal access to the goods and services offered on its website.
Invicta’s alleged denial of goods and services on its website for individuals who are blind or visually impaired is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Invicta class action alleges.
Rodriguez wants to represent a nationwide class and New York City subclass of individuals who are blind or visually impaired and who have been denied access to the equal enjoyment of goods and services on Invicta’s website.
Invicta’s website contains access barriers for screen-reading software used by blind, visually impaired, says class action
Invicta has access barriers on its website that prevent it from working with screen-reading software used by individuals who are blind or visually impaired to browse the interest, the Invicta class action alleges.
“These access barriers effectively denied Plaintiff the ability to use and enjoy Defendant’s website the same way sighted individuals do,” states the Invicta class action.
In addition to allegedly violating the ADA, Rodriguez claims Invicta violated New York City Human Rights Law.
Plaintiff is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory and injunctive relief along with an award of compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages for himself and all class members.
A similar class action lawsuit was filed earlier this month against Goop by a consumer arguing the company failed to make its website accessible to blind or visually impaired individuals who use screen-reading software to browse the internet.
