See you there!
Hello
I am writing to inform you all of an ADA Presentation set forth by Bob Huff through the Arcadia Chamber on April 1, 2011.
We are NOT speaking at this event, the main presenters are going to be from a group called Lawyers Against Lawsuit Abuse.
We are going to be in attendance.
I do have some reservations as to what this event will have, content wise. Any kind of education is good for Businesses on ADA Compliance (as businesses lack any kind of knowledge in this area) but as attorneys, they can only react to lawsuits and the legal situation. As much of the serial litigation that happens stems from a lack of physical compliance, getting an ADA compliance inspection is really the only way to become compliant (and thus, avoid lawsuits). I doubt that attorneys will do CASp or ADA inspections themselves.
At most they will tell their clients to hire an ADA expert.
The worst, they give their audience the impression that they don’t actually have to comply.
Still, I am curious as to what they will say. I have copied the information below:

This presentation is for general businesses, so it serves as an introduction to ADA Liability Issues. If you are interested in having us speak to your organization, please email us at help@accesssolutionllc.com or call me at 866 982 3212. We are offering speaking events for business organizations for FREE for the rest of 2011. This of course, includes Q&A at the end.
Let us help you with your ADA compliance needs.
We hope to see you there
We are excited to be doing a presentation of ADA Issues, SB 1608 and CASp to the Asphalt Pavement Association of California in April 12, 2011 in Pico Rivera, CA.
This organization is an association of professionals in the asphalt, concrete and pavement area. This also naturally includes parking lots and ADA compliance issues. We will be speaking about the liability of contractors as an extension of the general ADA liability that property managers, building owners and business owners regularly face.
More specially we will be getting into the complex interplay of the different Federal Accessibility standards and the California Building Code that causes issues for many architects and contractors. Just yesterday I was on the phone with a businesses owner who did understand his ADA liability and was venting that his architect and contractor did not: “Just how far out of compliance can you be?” the business owner quoted them. They wanted to go his site, “open a book” and check the access standards from a single guide.
I don’t know if they were thinking the California Code of Reference or CARM (California Accessible Reference Manual) but either way I doubt they would take into account the seating since it’s “furniture” and not part of the building or the new ADA 2010 laws that won’t be in a book. It can be quite hard to keep up to do date with a print copy of something. If anything they would need at least 4 “books” to cross reference the materials property.
This of course doesn’t even take into account the many ongoing debates of the issues.
After seeing our presentation I am sure many of these contractors won’t be relying on books like CARM or CALDAG anymore. Those resource materials are one individual’s opinion, not at all official — AND they don’t take into account the complexities of law that have arisen since 2010. If you keep abreast of the news, or just read this blog (where we keep abreast for you), you’ll see that with CASp and SB 1608 just how specialized this area of law has become.
After this, they will know what to look out for, who to contact and what to do about ADA compliance. Reading from CALDAG or CARM might have been okay in 2004, when it was just the 2001 CBC and the 1990 ADA without CASp… but those days are over. Thank goodness.
Education is the key.
While this presentation is for professionals in the industry (and not really open to the public) if you are interested in having us speak to our organization with a tailored presentation, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 866 982 3212 or at help@accesssolutionllc.com.
If you have a specific question or concern about access feel free to also contact me. I can’t do an ADA assessment over the phone, but the general knowledge of ADA compliance is something we offer for free. I can at least point the way for you so that your needs will be taken care of.
We will be presenting at the General Luncheon Membership for the
Chatsworth/Porter Ranch Chamber of Commerce
The Chatsworth Hotel formely known as the Radisson Hotel Chatsworth
9777 Topanga Canyon Blvd, Chatsworth, CA
Guests are $30.00 and members are $25.00.
The event description is as below:
The ADA is a complex facet of law stemming from a mixture of Federal and State components. These laws are well intentioned and of legitimate concern for the public and for businesses. Most businesses do not know how to comply or where to start complying, so they are easy targets for a few serial litigants. The minimum settlement in California is $4,000 plus attorneys fees for both sides. Many serial litigants use this complexity to sue businesses for a living. Learn how to defend yourself and what issues are at stake for compliance.
If you would like us to speak at an event to educate your members about the compliance with the ADA, please send us an email at help@accesssolutionllc.com or call us at 866 982-3212 x2
