Are you vulnerable to an ADA lawsuit?
ADA Lawsuits are reaching epidemic levels. Nearly every day, more businesses are served with lawsuits, and settlement demands that usually range between $5,000 and $35,000 dollars or more. No buildings are grandfathered. And a recent inspection by a city or county building inspector is no guarantee that you are ADA compliant.
We are CASp Certified by the State of California under the Certified Access Specialist program (CASp) Program. Only CASp inspectors can offer you protection as provided under SB 1608 – Senate Bill 1608 (Chapter 549, Statutes 2008) added Civil Code section 55.53(c) which states that every CASp who conducts an inspection of a place of public accommodation shall, upon completing the inspection of the site, provide the building owner or tenant who requested the inspection with a Certificate of Inspection.
When you have your business inspected by us, and perform the upgrades as outlined in the inspection report, you will be issued a certificate of compliance. This provides you protection from lawsuits or money demands.
You have to act before you get sued.
You will most likely never have seen the person who is suing you. Some lawsuits are valid due to a business owner’s complete disregard for the ADA. But most of these lawsuits are “drive-by” lawsuits brought by people who simply observe obvious violations from the exterior of your business. It may be incorrect ADA parking signs, a non-compliant door handle, or narrow aisles.
Unless you have had your business evaluated by a CASp Consultant, you very well may be targeted for one of these lawsuits. And it can be over something as simple as an incorrect type of door knob, faded parking lot paint, a loose door mat, or lack of an “Accessible” sign near your front door. A single bathroom can add up to $12,000, $16,000 even $24,000 for simple items that are inches out of place. “Close enough” can cost you thousands.
