With Atlanta’s newly-minted Mercedes-Benz Stadium as a backdrop, attorneys representing a potential class of disabled city residents contended that the city’s infrastructure is so poorly maintained that it violates federal laws requiring accessibility to public venues.

Decatur attorney James Radford and Atlanta attorney Andrew Coffman of Parks, Chesin & Walbert announced Monday that they have sued the city in federal court in Atlanta for reneging on a 2009 settlement agreement with the U.S. Justice Department that required millions of dollars of improvements to the city’s dilapidated sidewalks.
