In the restroom of a family-owned restaurant in Southern California, employees replaced a mirror that had been destroyed by vandals. Since the new mirror was two inches shorter than the old one, it was hanging two inches too high to satisfy disabilities regulations and standards. Once he was notified of the mistake, restaurant owner Ron Piazza immediately lowered the mirror. But it was already too late. Piazza's restaurant was sued.

"It would have been very easy for them to let us know that the mirror was a couple of inches too high, and we could have taken care of that right away," Piazza explained.

The plaintiffs are alleging that the height of Piazza's mirror inflicted damages each time they visited - for a total of 27 incidents in a three month period. "The multiple visits allow the plaintiffs and their lawyer to sue for damages per visit... Had I not lowered the mirror, they probably would have continued to come and log more visits," Piazza said. "It's very clear to me that they were instructed by someone who really knew the law on how many times to visit, [and] what to look for."

The same plaintiffs and plaintiffs' lawyers who are suing Piazza have also filed against at least two neighboring restaurants for similar claims. But these few plaintiffs are only examples of a much larger problem.
