Some crippled guy has been suing everyone whom you can sue for stuff like not being able to wash his hands in a rest room. Well, people aren’t so pleased.

A disabled man who claimed he couldn’t reach the soap or toilet-seat covers in a Garden Grove Del Taco had his case rejected by an Orange County Superior Court jury, a lawyer with the restaurant chain said.

The jury took 18 minutes to deliberate, according to a press release from the law firm representing Del Taco, Call, Jensen & Ferrell. According to the release, the jury was “outraged” at how frivolous the claim was.

Mundy conceded during the trial that he had, in the words of the press release, “filed nearly 200 lawsuits in recent months, earning over $60,000 in settlements in 2008 alone.”

Del Taco lawyers, in the defendant’s trial brief, said the allegations were “meritless and made by a professional plaintiff who intentionally and aggressively seeks out alleged ‘barriers,’ which he never truly encountered.”
