Serial ADA filers can be a daunting prospect for business owners, as multiple lawsuits increase the risk of large monetary penalties. Understanding the situation and preparing a comprehensive defense is key to managing serial ADA filers as efficiently and effectively as possible.
It is important to respond to any ADA violation lawsuit in a timely and professional manner. This includes acting quickly, abiding by the applicable statutes of limitations, properly documenting all related events, and communicating with the plaintiff’s attorney as needed throughout the process. Additionally, if any settlement negotiations begin, it may be beneficial to consult an attorney well-versed in disability law for assistance.
In addition to responding promptly and appropriately when sued, it is important to take steps to prevent future filing by serial filers when possible. To do so, businesses should regularly audit their premises for any ADA compliance issues and proactively address any problem areas that are discovered. This will prevent unnecessary litigation in the long run and help ensure customer satisfaction. Additionally, businesses should consider establishing a customer complaint process with specific protocols to address customer concerns quickly and efficiently.
