Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Lawyer

Here at Lento Law Group we fight for and represent those individuals or businesses who have had their ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) violated. The ADA is a civil rights law that was passed into the bill in 1990. This law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. 

The main reason why this law was put into action is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as every other individual. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals based on race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. 

It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications along with other miscellaneous provisions. ADA lawsuits and cases can vary widely based on several factors including the identity of the disabled claimant, the relevant disability, the alleged violation(s), the state where the case was filed, and other factors unique to each specific case.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has served millions of disabled individuals and is praised for its laudatory purposes, but many attorneys and career claimants have made ADA cases, with ADA accessibility one of worthy mention,  a lucrative business often too the disadvantage of business owners and operators. But that is not the case with our respectable law firm. We will evaluate the claim against you and provide you with your options including a vigorous defense of the suit.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF ADA LAWSUITS THAT MAY BE FILED BY THE DISABLED AGAINST COVERED BUSINESSES? 

The most common type of cases that are filed by the disabled are namely:

• Inaccessible Website ADA Cases
• ​Architectural Barriers ADA Cases
• Online Reservation System ADA Cases
• Inaccessible Website ADA Cases

In recent years many ADA lawsuits have been filed against businesses that conduct commerce online where their website is not accessible to the visually impaired. Blind and visually impaired internet users who are disabled under the ADA have several options for “reading” their computer screens and using online commerce features. The most widely accepted website technical standard for compatibility with screen reading software is Version 2.0 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, commonly known as WCAG 2.0. When implemented on a website, these guidelines make the website usable by individuals with visual impairments, and the guidelines have been adopted on the websites of many (if not most) major online retailers.

Architectural Barriers ADA Cases

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that places of public accommodation make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including compliance with very specific architectural requirements. The most common accommodations include the installation of disabled parking spaces, restaurant seating, accessible bathrooms, ramps, and other such features needed to integrate the disabled. The law also applies equally to landlords and tenants, making each jointly liable for ADA violations that are present on the property. Tenants may be sued even though alleged violations are on property controlled by the landlord (for example, a parking lot), and landlords may be sued for alleged violations in a tenant space (for example, inaccessible restaurant seating). As a result, the business owner, and its landlord (the property owner) are almost always sued together in these cases.

Online Reservation System ADA Cases

Hotels must ensure that individuals with disabilities can make reservations for accessible guest rooms during the same hours and in the same manner as people who do not need accessible rooms. These regulations require that any means by which hotels take reservations must identify and describe accessible features in the hotels and guest rooms in enough detail to reasonably permit individuals with disabilities to assess independently whether a given hotel or guest room meets their accessibility needs.

What Next?

When the government, an employer, or any commercial facility violates the ADA, the best approach is to immediately come into compliance. So if a lawsuit has been brought against you or your company under the ADA or you and your company are seeking advice regarding compliance under the ADA, it is important to retain a law firm that is familiar with the ADA and experienced in ADA litigation. That is where the Lento Group comes in. And when defending against these claims brought under the ADA, our attorneys will fully investigate whether you are in compliance and advise you as to all factual and procedural defenses available to you. 

It is very important to speak to an attorney who will aggressively and diligently defend your interests. Litigating lawsuits, or even avoiding lawsuits, involving the ADA requires clear communication between you and the law firm hired to represent and defend your interests. At the Lento Group, the interests of our clients are our highest priority, and everything we do is designed to provide cost-effective legal services to those who entrust us to do so. The Lento Group has built the experience and the results that our clients expect.
