THE ADA BECAME LAW OVER THIRTY-FOUR YEARS AGO, YET SADLY, BUSINESSES STILL DON'T FOLLOW IT.
On July 26th, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act came into law proudly proclaiming that “…disabilities [would no longer]...diminish a person’s right to fully participate in all aspects of society…” (42 U.S.C. §12101(a)(1)).
In order to ensure that business facilities were accessible, the Department of Justice issued the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) (And later on the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design).
Sadly, if you familiarize yourself with the requirements of these guidelines you will notice that many businesses still don't follow the guidelines.
These businesses had thirty-four years to bring their businesses into compliance and failed. Whether it is because of neglect or intention, your rights continue to be violated.
When you call us, we will provide a detailed analysis of your situation. Every situation is different and therefore we can only provide limited information on this website. However, if you are disabled and you were denied access to a business because of your disability, or because of your service animal, your rights were likely violated.
THE LAW RECOGNIZES THAT DISCRIMINATION IS A REAL HARM. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION.
Discrimination produces long lasting psychological harm. Especially, the repeated discrimination many disabled people experience every time they leave their home. The discomfort and difficulty that a disabled person experiences ruins their quality of life.
The ADA and related state laws provide for the following types of relief:
- Damages;
- Court And Investigative Costs;
- Attorney Fees;
- Injunctive Relief.
When you win your case, you will be entitled to all of the above forms of relief. Our firm charges nothing upfront.
You have a limited time to file a lawsuit. If you have been discrminated against, and don't act now, you may be giving up your rights in court. If you delay you may be giving up your rights forever. You can learn your rights through a free consultation. It is best to know all your options.
Other disabled individuals may be facing the same discrimination as you. When you fight for yourself, you are fighting for all disabled individuals.
