Description: New York, New York civil rights lawyers represented Plaintiff who sued defendant on a Americans with Disabilities Act violation theory.
"The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including employment, education, transportation, and public accommodations. The ADA was passed in 1990 and has been amended several times since then.
The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Major life activities include things like walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, learning, and working.
The ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including:
Employment: Employers with 15 or more employees are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities in all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, promotions, and training.
Education: Schools are prohibited from discriminating against students with disabilities in all aspects of education, including admissions, classes, extracurricular activities, and athletics.
Transportation: Public transportation providers are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities in all aspects of transportation, including fares, seating, and access to restrooms.
Public accommodations: Businesses that are open to the public are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities in all aspects of their operations, including access to the premises, goods and services, and facilities.
The ADA also requires that certain businesses and organizations make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations can include things like providing wheelchair ramps, accessible parking, and interpreters for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of your disability, you may be able to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ will investigate your complaint and, if they find that discrimination has occurred, they may take action to enforce the ADA. You may also be able to file a lawsuit against the person or organization that discriminated against you.
The ADA is a powerful law that protects the rights of individuals with disabilities. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you should speak with an attorney to discuss your legal options."
