The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law granting equal rights and access to persons with disabilities. Non-compliance may result in fines, injuries, and lawsuits. In fact, the number of ADA lawsuits brought to Federal Court continue to rise each year and the typical settlement is $15,000.
