Defending ADA Lawsuits
“Brad helped me stand strong against a shakedown lawsuit by predatory lawyers. My business, along with several other businesses, were targets of extortionate disability lawsuits. The lawsuit demanded an exorbitant amount of money from my business, which would have bankrupted my company. Other companies that were sued, and I hired ADA defense attorney Brad to protect us. Brad successfully saved my business…” Van Trang, T-Tek Auto.

FAQs
Q: How do I find out that my business complies with the Unruh Civil Rights Act and ADA?
A: You can determine the requirements for compliance by several factors, such as the date of construction, type of facility, etc. You can also check more about these acts online or contact our ADA defense attorney at 619-550-1321 for proper guidance.
Q: I want to make my business comply with the ADA requirements, but I need help due to my current financial condition. What should I do?A: We fully understand your situation here, as times are tough. However, you need to know that an ADA lawsuit will cost more than making your business comply with the ADA requirements. In an ADA lawsuit, you’ll have to pay attorney fees, damages associated with the trial, and court costs, and eventually, you’ll have to pay for the corrections. You can call our ADA defense attorney at 619-550-1321 for more guidance on this matter.
Q: Are most ADA lawsuits insubstantial?
A: Sometimes, ADA lawsuits are insubstantial. But you’ll be surprised to know that most of these lawsuits are based on some legal merit. Many business owners approach us and claim their businesses comply with these handicap laws. When we thoroughly investigate, we find out they are unaware that their business violates Unruh and ADA laws. It is essential to understand that some violations of these laws are minor, yet they are enough for a lawsuit.
Q: Can I get a warning letter giving me a grace period to fix the violation?
A: Although a plaintiff can give you a verbal or written warning, it doesn’t happen often. There have been various failed attempts to pass grace period legislation. There is the introduction of a 90-day grace period bill in Congress, but it is currently pending. Hence, the law doesn’t require the plaintiff to warn you before filing a lawsuit against your business. Therefore, you must fix any violation before someone files a lawsuit against you. If you are unaware of any breach, contact our ADA defense attorney at 619-550-1321 for guidance. You’ll be surprised to know that many businesses in California are unknowingly violating these laws in one way or another.
Q: If someone files a lawsuit against me, can my insurance cover it?
A: We highly doubt your insurance will cover it. Many insurance companies used to defend and compensate the insured in the past. However, not many insurance companies follow this practice anymore. You can contact your insurance provider, but expect a letter clarifying that they cannot cover you in this lawsuit.
Q: How much will I be fined for the violation?
A: A plaintiff can get a minimum of $4000 per visit and other costs such as attorney fees, court costs, etc. If your business is in violation, we highly recommend that you not fight and settle the case. It is mainly because the plaintiff may be awarded more if you lose the case.
Q: How much must I pay to settle an ADA Lawsuit?
A: Although it depends on the plaintiff’s attorney, the settlements can range from $3000 to $7000 or even more.
