Disability, Accessibility, and Liability: Whos Responsible for ADA and FHA Compliance?
This presentation was prepared to provide an analysis of the August 2012 decision by the Nevada Supreme Court that the Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted to remedy discrimination against disabled individuals and to prevent discrimination. Participants will have a better understanding of the roles of various parties to a project in determining and achieving ADA compliance; learn to consider the dissemination of information during a project and the decision-making process that flows from that; evaluate contractual allocations of this responsibility and review recent court decisions that underscore the importance of this process.
