A Georgia resident is taking legal action against a local business for alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On November 19, 2025, Jessica Blinkhorn filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Roshan Enterprises, Inc., claiming that the company has failed to make its property accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Jessica Blinkhorn, who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy and relies on a wheelchair for mobility, alleges that she encountered numerous physical barriers at a Chevron Food Mart owned by Roshan Enterprises located at 2765 E. College Avenue in Decatur, Georgia. According to Blinkhorn’s complaint, these barriers have denied her full and equal access to the goods and services offered at the facility. The lawsuit highlights specific issues such as the lack of compliant accessible parking spaces, inadequate restroom facilities, and obstructed pathways due to improperly placed ice chests. “Defendant has discriminated against Plaintiff by denying her access to, and full and equal enjoyment of the goods,” reads one part of the complaint.
The plaintiff argues that these conditions violate Title III of the ADA and its Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), which mandate public accommodations to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Blinkhorn asserts that Roshan Enterprises has failed to remove architectural barriers despite having ample time since the ADA’s enactment in 1990. The complaint further claims that addressing these issues is “readily achievable” without significant difficulty or expense given the defendant’s financial resources.
Blinkhorn seeks a court order requiring Roshan Enterprises to modify their property to comply with ADA standards. She is also requesting injunctive relief to prevent ongoing discrimination and demands compensation for attorney fees and litigation costs. Her attorney, Craig J. Ehrlich of Ehrlich Law Office, LLC, based in Atlanta, emphasizes that this legal action serves not only his client’s interests but also those of other disabled individuals who may face similar challenges.
This case will be overseen by Judge Timothy R. Jones under Case ID 1:25-cv-06650-TRJ. As it unfolds, it could set an important precedent for how businesses accommodate customers with disabilities in compliance with federal law.
