ADA Compliance

PageBuilds-May24-CTA-5925c5cb6684b.jpg

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design went into effect in 2010 so that those with disabilities could access all necessary electronic and information technology. The ADA affects:

  • Americans with disabilities and their friends, families, and caregivers
  • Private employers with 15 or more employees
  • Businesses operating for the benefit of the public
  • All state and local government agencies

Keep in mind that the ADA standards apply to public and commercial entities that have places of public accommodation, which includes the Internet. Through various lawsuits and settlement agreements, the Department of Justice has created greater access for those with disabilities. It’s important to know that the Department of Justice may not sue a party unless negotiations to settle the dispute have failed. In addition, the DOJ may file lawsuits in federal court to enforce ADA Compliance, while courts may order compensatory damages and back pay to resolve discrimination if the Department prevails.
