Any Los Angeles commercial property needs to be suited to accommodate people with disabilities according to ADA Compliance.
Property owners, and especially parking lots, should have ADA compliant accessible entrance and exit as mandated by the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA).
It is important to hire a contractor that is capable and skilled in building ADA compliant structures using the strict engineering codes that are dedicated for the comfort of people with disabilities to use.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination of individuals with disabilities and requires all public accommodations and commercial facilities to be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Failure to come into compliance or maintain compliance leaves you vulnerable to having a discrimination claim filed against you by an individual that is denied access to your business or facility due to physical access barriers.
At California Foundation Works we make sure that your property complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations and thus have your building accessible to people who use : Canes, walkers, crutches, wheelchair & scooters.
Protect against unwarranted ADA lawsuits
40% of all ADA lawsuits are filed in California and the majority of these lawsuits are filed by disabled litigants who go from business to business extorting money from business owners, threatening them with lawsuits unless they pay them off. Common litigated items are missing signs, doorway thresholds that are too high, and parking spaces that are too narrow or missing signage. The minimum fine for each of these items is $4,000 per occurrence with lawsuits reaching as high as $50,000.
