Description: Tulsa, Oklahoma civil rights lawyers represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on an Americans With Disabilities Act violation theory.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
If you believe that you have been discriminated against on the basis of your disability, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ can investigate your complaint and take action against the person or organization that discriminated against you.
To file a complaint with the DOJ, you must contact the ADA Information Line at 800-514-0301 (voice) or 1-833-610-1264 (TTY). You can also file a complaint online at the DOJ's website.
When you file a complaint, you must provide the DOJ with the following information:
Your name, address, and phone number
The name and address of the person or organization that you believe discriminated against you
A description of the discriminatory act
Any other information that you believe is relevant to your complaint
The DOJ will investigate your complaint and determine whether there is reasonable cause to believe that you have been discriminated against. If the DOJ finds reasonable cause, it will try to resolve the matter through mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, the DOJ may file a lawsuit against the person or organization that discriminated against you.
You may also file a private lawsuit against the person or organization that discriminated against you. To do this, you must file your lawsuit within 180 days of the date of the discriminatory act.
If you win a lawsuit against the person or organization that discriminated against you, you may be entitled to recover damages, including back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and punitive damages.
The ADA is a powerful law that can help you protect your rights if you have been discriminated against on the basis of your disability. If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you should contact the DOJ or an attorney to discuss your legal options.
