WHAT ARE INVESTIGATIONS LIKE UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OR CALIFORNIA UNRUH ACT?

When you have faced discrimination, the first step in filing any lawsuit, under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the California Unruh Act (42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq., Cal. Civ. Code §51), is to contact an attorney. Your attorney will be able to tell whether your lawsuit is novel and complex, or whether your lawsuit is a standard and common scenario.

When your lawsuit is novel and complex, your attorney will have to come up with a unique plan and strategy to represent you.

If your lawsuit is a standard and common scenario then your attorney will likely conduct the following investigation:

• Your attorney will need to determine if you had a qualified disability or medical condition;
• Your attorney will need to determine how your disability or medical condition impacts your life;
• If you have a service animal, your attorney will have to determine what training the animal has received as well as how the animal assists you;
• Your attorney will have to interview you to determine what happened on the date of the incident that resulted in you being denied access;
• Your attorney will need to review any documentation or photographs you had that supported your position;
• If your lawsuit is based upon architectural violations, your attorney will then hire an expert to examine the property to see if the property complies with federal and state building code and accessibility law requirements.
• Finally, your attorney will determine who owned the business and, or, the real estate where you were denied access.

At the end of the investigation, your attorney would be able to determine what were your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the California Unruh Act (42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq., Cal. Civ. Code §51).

Investigations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the California Unruh Act (42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq., Cal. Civ. Code §51) are fairly straight forward. Usually, your attorney will be able to complete the investigation in a limited amount of time.
