A few months ago, I blogged here about a lawsuit filed in a Pennsylvania federal court in which a plaintiff alleged that a grocery store’s inflexible policy of requiring all customers to face coverings — even the ones with documented medical issues — violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Last Friday, I read an attorney’s status update on LinkedIn that asked a simple question, one which many of us often take for granted.
“What is the cost of inaction?” Continue reading
