Reddit Miami: Small Business Physical Location in Florida Sued over ADA Compliance, Then Website


Listen Later

The SubReddit for Miami, Florida (/r/Miami) shares experiences with ADA compliance lawsuits. One Redditor (/u/diegou654) warns that their business was sued over the physical location accessibility and then they were sued again for their website's accessibility right after.

"Sadly that is the cheapest option. A part of you will want to fight back but it will cost way more. It happened to us last year. There are people that literally live off of suing as many restaurants as possible for this. Btw they sued us a second time for our website not being ADA compliant, so make sure you cover all your bases in the settlement."
Small businesses must be proactive when it comes to accessibility. With physical locations, there are exact requirements that must be met. With websites, there best practices for ADA compliance you can follow.
Lawyers in Florida involved in ADA compliance include Pelayo Duran and Roderick Hannah (the Law Office of Pelayo Duran), Alberto Leal, Acacia Barros, P.A. Law Office of Pelayo Duran, Shakhar Vyas, and Emerson Primental.
