In a recent lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Timothy Queen is suing Georgia Mountain Dermatology, LLC, and Dr. Carlton Trent Faulk for alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The complaint details an incident where Mr. Queen was denied medical treatment because his service dog, Ruger, was not allowed to accompany him into the examination room. Despite explaining that federal law does not require registration papers for service animals, staff at the dermatology practice insisted on such documentation. As a result, Mr. Queen and his wife were unable to receive their scheduled medical care after traveling ninety minutes to the facility. The lawsuit seeks damages for discrimination based on disability, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent future occurrences.
