Keynote: Brett Miller with Butzel Long “Anatomy of an Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Lawsuit: Transport services, service animals, scent sensitivities, and more”
An eye surgery practice recently had to pay a $1 million settlement after being sued by the Department of Justice for failing to provide transfer assistance to patients in wheelchairs and, instead, charged them for third-party transport and transfer assistance. Learn what rules govern providing assistance for mobility-impaired patients in your practice. In addition, this session will discuss other commonly misunderstood rules regarding ADA accessibility issues such as the rules surrounding service animals and “public accommodations” including a rise in claims relating to “scent sensitivity.” Even websites have been targets of ADA accessibility lawsuits for hearing or vision impaired individuals. Labor and employment attorney Brett Miller will discuss the rules practices should follow to avoid legal liability and answer questions from the audience.
