The following report is courtesy of Patrick Cronin from Seacoastonline.com:
A nonprofit corporation that fights for the rights of the disabled is suing the Hampton Beach Casino for allegedly not being handicappedaccessible.
Access with Success, a Massachusetts organization, filed the civil suit on behalf of all its members earlier this month in federal court.
In its suit, Access with Success claims the owners of the Hampton Beach Casino discriminated against one of its members because the building does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Access with Success asks the court to force the casino to bring the building into compliance and make it accessible.
The suit was prompted after one of its members, Dino N. Theodore, went to purchase tickets on Oct. 18 to the QUEENSRŸCHE concert that was going to be held at the casino.
Theodore is paralyzed from the chest down and requires a wheelchair. He claims he could not enter the casino because it does not comply with ADA requirements. He also claims he couldn't even purchase tickets because it was not "fully accessible."
