For instance, we have a right to have a TTY when working for a company. They provide a TTY. However, since there are several deaf employees working in that office area, they feel that each of them are entitled to their own TTY so they sue. That's what I mean by abuse. There are also times when people sue without even taking the time to ask about their own ADA rights. There was one time where a lady sued one company for not providing her an interpreter. Yet, she never told them that she needed an interpreter. Another time, one company provided an interpreter for a deaf woman. She sued because she was insulted when they assumed she wouldn't understand them. Either way, both were sued... without even given a chance to explain or to fulfill the request of the client.
