ADA Consulting Firm Aims to End Cycle of ADA Lawsuit Abuse


A
DA Compliance Review Corp., an ADA consulting company, has introduced their 'Compliance Assurance' program in response to the tidal wave of Disabled Access lawsuits. Now their clients can maintain ongoing compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and avoid lawsuits. Under the new program the Company will send an ADA compliance specialist to the client's site every 3 months.

Under the ADA and California law, a business that is open to the public must have designated parking and no steps or curbs blocking an entrance. Bathrooms and aisles must be able to accommodate customers with wheelchairs and counters cannot be too high. The law allows a disabled person who has been denied access to a public building because of access violations to file a lawsuit.

According to Philippe Heller, president of ADA Compliance Review Corp., "Once the parking lot paint fades or the disabled parking signs get knocked over or damaged by graffiti, the business is again subject to an ADA lawsuit. Through the 'Compliance Assurance' program a business owner won't have to worry. We will perform quarterly spot inspections to ensure ADA compliance and protect them from shakedown lawsuits."

Many business owners are under the false impression that they are "grand-fathered" due to the age of the building. Heller points out that regardless of age all commercial buildings are subject to some level of compliance. With the law's exacting standards, violations are easy to find. "Our reports recommend the easiest and least expensive way to become ADA compliant. Compliance can often be accomplished without spending much money. And tax breaks exist for most businesses."

ADA Compliance Review Corp. provides business and commercial property owners with affordable ADA inspection services and signs. Their investment in state-of-the-art reporting software and equipment has contributed to the rapid growth of the Company.
