DPA Attorneys at Law specializes in defending businesses against lawsuits filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act. More specifically, we understand the unique challenges businesses face when confronted with claims regarding accessibility and compliance, and we leverage our extensive experience to effectively safeguard your business interests.
Defense of Physical Barrier Claims
We vigorously defend against claims involving architectural barriers, such as:
- Insufficient or improper ADA-compliant parking spaces
- Excessive slopes on ramps, walkways, and entrances
- Transaction counters exceeding ADA-compliant height
- Inaccessible restrooms, elevators, and common areas
- Any other alleged non-compliance issues in your facility
Our approach is strategic and thorough. If your facility is already compliant, we aggressively contest any unfounded allegations, using expert evaluations and comprehensive documentation to dismiss meritless claims. However, if a claim reveals genuine compliance issues, we meticulously negotiate the most favorable settlement terms possible, aiming to minimize disruptions and costs to your business operations.
Defense of Website Accessibility Claims
We also specialize in defending against lawsuits involving website accessibility. With the exponential rise in ADA and Unruh Civil Rights Act claims targeting websites, hospitality businesses are increasingly vulnerable. A single visitor with disabilities experiencing accessibility barriers on your website—or even on third-party platforms showcasing your content—can trigger costly litigation.
Our firm provides proactive and robust defense strategies, addressing:
- Allegations of non-compliant website design and navigation
- Issues related to screen-reader compatibility and digital accessibility standards
- Content accessibility claims on third-party websites and booking platforms
These lawsuits are nuanced and complex, but our seasoned attorneys bring clarity and strong advocacy to each case.
Proactive Compliance Counseling
Beyond litigation defense, we offer preventive compliance counseling, equipping your business with practical, tailored guidance to ensure both your physical facilities and digital presence meet ADA and Unruh Civil Rights Act standards.
If your business is currently facing a lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Unruh Civil Rights Act, we invite you to reach out immediately to discuss your options. Our team is ready to evaluate your case and aggressively protect your interests.
If you have not yet faced such litigation, proactively connect with us today. We can help you conduct comprehensive audits and implement strategic solutions designed to minimize risk, maintain compliance, and shield your hospitality business from future legal vulnerabilities.
