Jarek Molski: Disabled Douchebag

Posted by: Tristan

Jarek Molski filed more than 400 suits under the Americans With Disabilities Act and pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements before a federal judge banned him from filing any more lawsuits.

In a highly unusual action in 2004, U.S. District Judge Edward Rafeedie, who has since died, branded Molski a “hit-and-run plaintiff,” accusing him of systematic extortion of businesses across California.

Molski, who has used a wheelchair since a motorcycle accident two decades ago, sued restaurants, bowling alleys, wineries and other retail outlets for insufficient handicapped parking, misplaced handrails and other violations of the disabilities act, demanding that business owners be fined $4,000 for every day their facilities failed to meet exacting federal standards.

Molski’s suing days are over, now that the US Supreme Court has refused to review Rafeedie’s order.

Molski isn’t the only douchebag in this story, however.

Molski was traveling abroad and couldn’t be reached for comment, said a secretary at the San Francisco office of his attorney, Thomas E. Frankovich. The Frankovich firm also was accused by Rafeedie of misusing the courts and barred from filing more suits without the judge’s permission.

So we’ve stopped two douchebag leaches. Go America!!!
