Government Actions
Department of Justice v. Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On January 17, 2023, Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center entered into a Consent Decree with the Department of Justice. The consent decree settles allegations that the business violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by refusing to provide patients with disabilities the transfer assistance they need. Under terms of the consent decree, the business will not discriminate against individuals on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations. The business will deposit the sum of $725,000 in an interest bearing account, to compensate individuals with disabilities who claim in good faith they were harmed by the business. The business must also pay monetary relief in the amount of $225,000, and pay a civil penalty in the amount of $50,000. The Assurance was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law.
This action is final.
