Defending Businesses Against Allegations of ADA Violations

Bashian & Papantoniou, P.C. recently defended a business facing allegations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The claims centered on structural barriers at the property, including an inaccessible entrance, issues with restroom accessibility, and seating arrangements that allegedly limited mobility for individuals using wheelchairs. In these situations, businesses often face challenges with older buildings or unclear accessibility requirements. Our firm worked with the client to address the allegations and explore practical solutions. This matter was resolved amicably, and it highlights the importance of regularly evaluating physical spaces to ensure accessibility compliance.
