B. The Release Includes State and Local Law Claims Which Are Not Addressed By The Agreements

The Agreements are also overbroad in that they bar class members from bringing claims under state and local accessibility laws which may provide remedies not available under the ADA. Section IX.B; see also Section I.H(6); Exhibit B. For example, Florida law provides that disability discrimination by places of public accommodation gives rise to cause of action for "compensatory damages, including . . . mental anguish, loss of dignity, and any other intangible injuries, and punitive damages." Fla. Stat. Ann. §§ 413.08, 760.07, 760.11(5) (West 1998). The ADA does not provide for such a range of compensatory damages.
