Description:
Greenbelt, Maryland Americans with Disability Act claim civil rights lawyers represented the Plaintiff.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in many areas of life, including employment, transportation, and public accommodations. The ADA protects people from discrimination in the same way that other civil rights laws protect people from discrimination based on race, sex, national origin, age, and religion.
Here are some key points about the ADA:
Definition of disability
The ADA defines a person with a disability as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, or who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.
Covered entities
Covered entities must make changes to policies and remove barriers that prevent people with disabilities from having equal opportunities.
Employment
The ADA protects people from job discrimination if they are qualified to do the job, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Transportation
The ADA covers public transportation offered by a state or local government, and privately funded transportation offered by a private company.
Undue hardship
An employer is not required to provide a reasonable accommodation if it would cause an undue hardship.
Retaliation
The ADA prohibits retaliation and coercion.
