Rick Ross is facing a new legal challenge… because a man just sued him, claiming that Ross failed to make sure his car show was handicapped accessible.
A man named Darris Straughter is suing Ross because he says Ross advertised his car show as a dream opportunity to tour his property… but he claims he never got the chance… because a wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus never showed up to take him to the event, even though he says he was repeatedly assured there would be one.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
Darris says he paid for his own travel, lodging, and purchased a ticket (even selling his car to do so) to Rick Ross’ Car & Bike Show… and says he contacted the venue two weeks in advance to let them know he needed a reasonable accommodation for his wheelchair.
He says the auto show organizers told him they had a shuttle to take him from the parking lot to the event… but he says after waiting several hours, it never showed. He got fed up, gave away his ticket, and went back to the hotel.
Darris and his lawyer, Attorney John Hoover.He says the organizers promised a refund to anyone who couldn’t get into the event… but says no one ever let him know.
She’s suing Rick for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act…and is seeking damages and an order requiring the auto show to provide disabled access in the future.
