In Lugo v. St. Nicholas Assoc., 2 Misc. 3d 212 [Sup Ct, NY County 2003] the court upheld plaintiff's complaint under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) where a disabled person's health aide was injured as a result of attempting to maneuver her employer's wheelchair down the steps of a building that provided no wheelchair ramp. The court held that, because the plaintiff "had no choice but to escort her [employer] down the stairs . . . she was denied the accommodation which was also denied to her client." (Lugo, supra, 2 Misc. 3d at 217.)
