ADA Title III: Is Your Business Accessible?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III prohibits discrimination in "places of public accommodation." This includes almost every business open to the public.
Physical Barriers
Businesses must remove architectural barriers where it is "readily achievable." This includes installing ramps, accessible door handles, and grab bars in restrooms. Failure to do so opens the business to federal lawsuits.
Digital Accessibility
A growing battleground is the internet. Courts have increasingly held that websites and apps are public accommodations. If your website isn't compatible with screen readers (used by the blind), you could be sued. Ringo Legal advises both individuals denied access and small businesses navigating compliance.
