CalBizCentral Launches ADA/Accessibility Online Resource To Help Businesses

Mar. 16, 2010  –  Category: Employment Law & Compliance, Expert Advice & Other News, Workplace Issues

Many California businesses remain confused and uncertain about complying with California’s disability access laws. Without being fully compliant, businesses face the threat of costly lawsuits. In just the past few years, tens of thousands of defendants have been sued in ADA/accessibility lawsuits in California with settlements ranging from a few hundred dollars, to hundreds of thousands of dollars. One study found that over 42% of ADA/accessibility lawsuits in the United States are filed in California. To help educate businesses throughout the state on the higher accessibility standards in California, CalBizCentral recently expanded an entire section of its HRCalifornia.com website to the topic of ADA compliance. CalBizCentral is also offering a free 15-day trial for non-members so they can access this helpful information.
