A report by the Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) has revealed that California's "lawsuit abuse" costs the state $101B in lost economic output and over 850,000 jobs annually. The report also revealed that Californians pay over $2,500 a year in hidden fees through the "tort tax," a term that represents increased costs of products and services from business owners due to such lawsuits. The ADA ensures equal access to goods, services, and employment for disabled people, but some argue that it is often used to justify excessive lawsuits. David Fansler, founder of Fansler Restaurant Group, has faced multiple ADA lawsuits, resulting in thousands of dollars in damages.
