A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) is a professional who has passed an examination and has been certified by the State of California to have specialized knowledge of the applicability of state and federal construction-related accessibility standards. Only a CASp Inspection offer you “qualified defendant” status in a construction-related accessibility lawsuit.
While there is no penalty for not performing a CASp inspection, all new construction and modernization projects that are open to the public are required to be in compliance with ADA standards for accessibility. Existing facilities still have an ongoing obligation to remove barriers that are readily achievable. While you may be "grandfathered in" according to local building code, the ADA does not have a provision to "grandfather" a facility. In other words, if you are open to the public, you are never "grandfathered in".
Without a CASp inspection, in the event of a lawsuit, statutory damages of $4,000 may be assessed per occasion under Civil Code section 55.56. A person is denied full and equal access if the individual personally encountered the violation or the individual was deterred from accessing a place of public accommodation. A denial of full and equal access includes instances where a person experienced difficulty, discomfort, or embarrassment because of the violation.
If you are found liable, you will be responsible for paying the plaintiff’s attorneys fees in addition to statutory damages.
Having a CASp evaluate your property can entitle you to a hold on litigation and shows good faith and that you are aware of your properties accessibility issues. The comprehensive report we provide after completing an CASp inspection is also the starting point for a roadmap of when you intend to address any accessibility barriers. Having and following this roadmap is key to protecting your business from future litigation. Martin Brothers Consulting Services will help make sure you stay on track to have your property be as accessible as possible.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination of individuals with disabilities and requires all facilities used by the public (public accommodations) to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Since January 26, 1992, all new construction, additions and alterations are required to comply with the ADA standards. The ADA contains no “grandfathering” provisions. ADA Inspections are key to ensuring compliance with the law.
Our ADA consultants are licensed Certified Access Specialists (CASp) who will understand the complexity of your project early and will counsel your team in advance of any challenges. Having a CASp perform an ADA Inspection of your publicly accessible locations is the first step in mitigating your lawsuit risk and ensuring ADA Compliance. Our Inspectors serve all of California, but also offer local services in the Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and San Diego areas.
