Miami, Florida Americans With Disabilities Act violation lawyer represented the Plaintiff.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in several areas of life:
Employment
The ADA makes it illegal to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in the workplace. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and state and local civil rights enforcement agencies enforce this part of the ADA.
Public accommodations
The ADA requires businesses to remove barriers and make changes to their policies to ensure equal opportunity for people with disabilities.
Transportation
The ADA covers public transportation offered by state or local governments, as well as privately funded transportation.
Telecommunications
The ADA requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ensure that hearing-impaired and speech-impaired individuals have access to telecommunications relay services.
State and local government services
The ADA guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities to participate in state and local government programs.
The ADA protects people who have a disability, a history of a disability, or are perceived as having a disability. The ADA covers many types of disabilities, including physical, psychological, and emotional impairments.
Outcome: Default judgment.
