Target Settles Website Accessibility Lawsuit

As previously discussed, Target was sued by the National Federation of the Blind for allegedly failing to make the Target website accessible to the blind. The lawsuit was certified as a class action and was recently settled. The settlement requires Target to establish a fund in the amount of $6,000,000 for claimants as well as update its website to be accessible to the blind. Target previously claimed that there was not a law in place that could require it to make its website accessible to the blind.

I dont see how $6 million will help them. What did they really suffer from? Why weren't the site operators just made to build the site accessibility in and get a reasonable fine? Stupid result.

What the lawyer makes us say: You have heard it before, but it is important, so here it is again. An insurance policy is the controlling document, and nothing in this blog changes or waives any policy language. You must refer to actual policy language, whether it belongs to us or someone else. Do not rely on a general discussion of policy terms and issues. Actual application of an insurance policy to a particular situation depends on specific facts and applicable law. This blog is not a substitute for legal advice, and an attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction should be consulted for help whenever legal counseling is needed or appropriate.
