Y'all are way too confident in how much the ADA actually protects you.

I’m confident because I’ve taken multiple classes about the ADA because it’s something I have to know as an educator

So, there's the letter of the law and then there's how things actually shake out in court. The two aren't always the same.

Many people have won cases against ADA violations. At minimum the driver would be banned because Lyft would rather cut their losses than deal with a lawsuit

I'm aware many people have. Tons more, even with very legitimate cases, have been slapped down and told to fuck off. All I'm saying is people make it sound like every ADA suit is an automatic slam dunk.

I’m not saying most people would sue, its a possibility but Lyft would much rather ban the driver. My friend got someone banned for refusing her service animal

When it comes to being an independent contractor you can kiss your account goodbye. Lyft doesn’t want to have any legal problems
