Defending Health Care Providers That Face ADA Lawsuits
Health care providers see countless patients, caregivers and relatives through their doors each day. As an administrator, property manager or owner of a health care facility, it is possible that you could be targeted by an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuit.
Since the establishment of Karlin Law Firm LLP in 1979, our attorneys have resolved over 6,000 ADA claims throughout the country. We represent businesses and property owners, including health care facilities, such as doctors’ offices and dental clinics, facing compliance challenges. We have the experience necessary to address your ADA legal concerns while also protecting your practice and reputation.
Health Care Facilities Are Not Immune To Lawsuits
Health care facilities are often at an advantage due to the high level of understanding that is involved in the day-to-day operations. The health care industry is designed to help people and to look out for those who require special accommodations. However, while lawsuits can often be successfully prevented, the dishonest actions of people seeking payouts cannot.
Many lawsuits involve ADA compliance regarding:
- Patient restrooms and grab bars
- Entryways, hallways and walkways
- Service and transaction counters
- Parking lots, parking stalls and van-accessible ADA spaces
- Access aisles
- The use of truncated domes to assist the blind and visually impaired
Health care facilities also need to be aware of service animals and the ADA laws and regulations, and have a policy for employees to follow regarding service animals.
