No "Grandfathering"!

ADA Compliance Applies to all of The Following:

  • Existing facilities
  • Facilities being altered
  • Construction of new facilities

We will help you IDENTIFY YOUR ADA VIOLATIONS, & help yo UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. With the right advice, owners, landlords, tenants, and property managers, can MINIMIZE RISKS & EXPENSES associated with ADA violations & ignorance of the law, and ENSURE EQUAL ACCESS FOR THE DISABLED.

Business Owner

Business Owner

The owner bears sole responsibility for building entry, accessible parking areas and public building or common areas, not leased by tenants. Even if the tenant is responsible for maintaining and repairing a property, the owner may still be held liable for noncompliance.

Tenant

Tenants

Tenants are not liable for violations in areas that are not under their exclusive control, such as common areas. There may be sole responsibility for ADA compliance for commercial buildings in some situations, while responsibility will be shared with the property owner in other situations.

Landlord

Landlord

A landlord may not shift liability for ADA compliance to his tenants. Both landlord & tenant are legally responsible for ADA compliance. The lease can determine who is responsible for actually making the changes & removing barriers..

property manager

Property Manager

Property Manager

Although property managers may not have direct liability for ADA compliance, their actions, as agents of the landlord, can have significant consequences. Acts and omissions of property managers can have far-reaching ramifications for landlords.

How to Avoid an ADA Lawsuit? get a CASp Certificate

The only way to get “LEGAL BENEFITS” in the event of an ADA Accessibility Lawsuit, is to have your business inspected by a “CERTIFIED ACCESS SPECIALIST” (CASp). This will afford you “QUALIFIED DEFENDANT” STATUS. 

A WIN-WIN

The law that governs CASp, is to encourage business owners to make their properties accessible to the disabled community, BUT, it also aims to PROTECT BUSINESS OWNERS. from “serial litigants”  or what has become known as “SHAKEDOWN LAWSUITS” .

What You Need to Know

The ADA property inspection has to be done in accordance with CRASCA. It is only in this way that businesses can receive the LEGAL PROTECTIONS that come with the associated “QUALIFIED DEFENDANT” STATUS.

What ever the results of  your CASp inspection, you are granted “Qualified Defendant” status, (legal rights in the event of an accessibility related lawsuit).

GETTING A CASp BEFORE OR AFTER AN ADA LAWSUIT

If you receive a construction-related accessibility lawsuit, a review by a CASp of the alleged violations can help DETERMINE THEIR VALIDITY.

A CASp inspection performed AFTER RECEIVING A LAWSUIT will not, provide you with protections as a “qualified defendant” in that lawsuit.

How We Can Help You

We work very closely with the BEST ADA ATTORNEYS to ensure that you are able to bring your business into ADA Compliance in an EFFICIENT & COST-EFFECTIVE way.

A review of the alleged violations, by a CASp, can help DETERMINE THEIR VALIDITY.

What's "Undue Hardship"
What's "Readily Achievable"

Let's Get Started

"Let us check your Property for ADA Compliance, rather than a "professional" plaintiff

There are THREE TYPES OF BUILDINGS IN CALIFORNIA
1. those that have been sued for ADA non-compliance,
2. those that are yet to be sued and
3. those that will get sued again.

A CASp certificate goes a long way to reduce your exposure and it also makes good business sense. Rather than a business being subjected to obloquy for not being in compliance, having a CASp certificate is an intimation that the facility likely has,or is working on, achieving a higher level of access for disabled customers. This lets the “would be” serial plaintiff know, that this is no easy target.
