ADA Defense Litigation
Support Services
Atkins provides ADA Defense Litigation Support Services to defense firms engaged in ADA litigation matters. Atkins also provides ADA Real Estate Risk Mitigation Support Services to clients seeking to proactively address and correct accessibility issues before they become legal matters.
Our ADA Defense Litigation and ADA Real Estate Risk Mitigation Support Services may include but are not limited to:
-
A Thorough Complaint Review: Wherein we meticulously examine all allegations against the ADA Standards to evaluate validity.
-
ADA Site Inspections: We conduct on-site inspections with video and photographic documentation to discredit or validate allegations. A similar process is performed when providing proactive Site Evaluations for ADA Real Estate Risk Mitigation wherein violations of the ADA Standards are documented with technical design solutions to bring a property into compliance, whereby reducing the risk of future litigation.
-
Reports: We may produce detailed reports analyzing each allegation against relevant evidence and applicable ADA regulations and/or an Expert Witness Report pursuant to Federal rule of Civil procedure 26(a)(2)(B).
-
Additional services may include but are not limited to Depositions and Expert Witness testimony.
The ADA regulations are extremely complex and technical. Plaintiff legal fees can easily mount into hundreds of thousands if a case is lost, so it is imperative to have the experience behind Atkins providing your ADA Defense Litigation Support and/or your ADA Real Estate Risk Mitigation.
ADA
Standards
The Department of Justice published the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) title III regulations, which included the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (1991 Standards), on July 26, 1991.
The Department of Justice published revised regulations for Titles II and III of the ADA in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These regulations adopted revised, enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards) and permitted the 1991 Standards to be used until March 14, 2012.
On March 15, 2012, the 2010 Standards became the enforceable standards under Titles II and III for new construction, alterations, program accessibility, and barrier removal.
