One can only hope that the extent of litigation allowed against individual companies is appropriately limited and understood in the appropriate contexts. This certainly wasn't the case when the the ADA of 1990 was first passed.

It was passed with the best of intentions, but I've known folks who gloat over the amount of money they made settling out of court simply over suing small businesses who have a single step to get in their door off of the street.
