(more) For Hotels It is our continuing experience that lawsuits are being filed against hotel owners who believe that their facilities are fully compliant with the ADA. We recommend a proactive approach. (more) For Plaintiff Attorneys Before an ADA lawsuit is filed, we provide a pre-litigation survey to ascertain whether barriers to access do, in fact, exist, and whether the mitigation of those barriers is technically feasible. (more) For Defense Attorneys A lawsuit seeking injunctive relief under federal civil rights law may be translated as "fix it or shut it down." (more) Municipalities Title II of the ADA requires that towns, cities, counties and states provide equal access to municipal programs and services. (more) Colleges and Universities Private schools are required to provide "full and equal enjoyment" as public accommodations under Title III of the ADA. State schools fall under Title II's requirement for "equal program access." Sometimes there is an overlap. (more) Housing The accessibility requirements of housing law are notably different from those of the ADA. The various acceptable standards and guidelines related to housing differ from one another. In addition, some portions of a housing project may need to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act while other portions may not. Often, owners of housing facilities don't know whether or not their facility is in compliance with the law. (more) Shopping Centers As regards providing accessibility, lease language typically addresses the responsibilities of tennant and landlord. Under federal law, both could be held accountable. (more) Restaurants A gentleman who drives a van with a fold-down ramp went out to dinner at a restaurant that did not provide a van accessible parking space. Since he couldn't park there, he couldn't eat there. He instructed his attorney to file a lawsuit for injunctive relief. (more) Businesses Each place of business that is open to the public is required to provide "full and equal enjoyment" of its goods and services to people with disabilities.
