Millions of Americans live with some kind of physical, sensory, cognitive or mental disability.  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and a number of state laws provide people with disabilities many legal protections in the public arena, such as concert venues, theaters, restaurants, amusement parks, and resorts.  Certain accommodations must be provided to an individual with a disability in order to meet that person’s needs. 

However, because disability laws including the ADA can be quite complex, and they do not protect all people with disabilities in all situations, an attorney experienced in ADA and discrimination claims may be appropriate to carefully evaluate particular circumstances, and determine whether you have rights or redress under the ADA or other disability laws.

Individuals often have the right to file lawsuits against those who have committed disability discrimination.  The first step to determining whether someone has a claim or lawsuit relating to disability discrimination is to consult with a lawyer.  Attorneys at Dogali Law Group are knowledgeable and experienced regarding disability laws and the ADA.  They can help you determine whether you have a claim, and what steps you should take next in order to protect yourself and seek justice.
