I don't know. How many lawyers can dance on the head of a pin?

The wheelchair has a legal right to be there. The softball organization has a legal duty to comply with the ADA.

Barring some willfull intent to cause harm by the chair user, maybe nobody gets sued. If the chair is there by the mandate of Federal legislation, whose "fault" is it that it's there?
