ADA Client Lawsuit Cases

The Risks Outweigh the Cost Savings

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 50 million Americans have disabilities, many of whom need special accommodations when shopping and lodging. The federal government isn’t leaving it to retailers, hotels, and shopping centers to decide what to do. There’s some pretty extensive and complex legislation to ensure the special needs of disabled citizens are met, and lately the Department of Justice and opportunistic third parties are keeping very close eyes on which companies and brands are complying. Want to retain your stellar public image? Keen to minimize or avoid costly lawsuits? Committed to corporate compliance?

What Should Your Enterprise Do to Comply?

This is the big question! It can be a tough decision to make. Do you continue operating as normal, and hope you don’t fall victim to the drive-by or a DOJ case? Best case, if you do get sued, it will likely result in a settlement anyway, so chances are you won’t be out an exorbitant sum. Worst case, it becomes a civil matter and you’re liable for tens of thousands of dollars in damages. But either way, your non-compliance will be on public record and could potentially damage your brand.

Alternatively, do you dive in and make a potentially large investment in coming into compliance with ADA? And if you do decide to take a proactive approach, what other capital investments that work towards improving the customer experience will need to be put on the back burner temporarily or indefinitely?
