Accessibility Violation Victory

AN ACCESSIBILITY VIOLATION INJURED OUR CLIENT How We Helped Her Receive Justice

Did you know there are laws designed to make buildings more accessible for individuals with disabilities? We recently won a case for a client who suffered an injury because a business failed to follow these accessibility laws. Our client, a woman with disabilities, tried to enter a business through a handicap door. This door, however, was so heavy and closed with so much force behind her that it knocked her to the ground. She suffered a spinal fracture and severe bleeding from her fall, resulting in paralysis for life. This is what happens when businesses fail to take these laws seriously: Someone suffers a life-altering injury. These laws exist because individuals with disabilities can be more susceptible to accidents or injury, which is why these accessibility features are required in the first place. It’s hard enough for people

with health conditions or impairments to get around, but when the laws aren’t followed, it’s like walking into a snake pit for them. And the saddest part is that no matter how careful someone is or how much they try to

protect themselves from these tragedies, it’s impossible to remain completely safe when business owners fail to keep their buildings legally accessible. That’s why lawyers like us have to be the entity that enforces those laws because, unfortunately, there’s not a lot of regulation or oversight. Business owners must know that accessibility laws aren’t suggestions but requirements, and their failure to stay current with them can have serious and often permanent consequences. We’re honored our client chose us to represent her, and while there is nothing anyone can do to reverse her lifelong injuries, we were able to help her receive the justice — and compensation — she deserved. If you or anyone you know has suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, we’d love to help you too. Call our office at 216-208-5072 for a FREE case strategy session.
