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 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 notice, which the State Architect shall make
available as a form on the State Architect's Internet Web site.
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
will provide you with a 90 stay from any 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 ADA 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. We encourage you to read some of
the articles on our "links" page.

and commercial property owners with the information they need to
