The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) governs every step of employment, from hiring to promotions and firing. Employers who violate the ADA may be financially liable to those they harm. If you or a loved one experienced an ADA violation, a Florida personal injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will seek justice for you.
You could get compensation for lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the ADA violation. Our firm goes the extra mile to get justice for our clients. We take ADA violations seriously, and you can trust us to get a fair outcome in your case.
What Is the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)?
The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division explains that the ADA “prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in everyday activities.” Because of the ADA, Americans have legal protection against discrimination based on:
- Race
- Sex
- National origin
- Age
- Religion
This landmark legislation formalizes what we already know: Discrimination has no place in Florida or anywhere else in the United States.
Who Does the ADA Protect?
The ADA protects employees, business patrons, renters, potential homebuyers, and students. The U.S. Department of Justice explains that individuals with disabilities include:
- People with physical impairments: Those with impaired hearing, mobility limitations, vision impairment, and other physical disabilities the ADA protects. Most business owners, employers, and public institutions must reasonably accommodate those with physical disabilities.
- People with mental impairments: Those with learning disabilities, diagnosed mental health conditions, and other mental impairments are entitled to reasonable accommodations.
- Those with perceived impairments: Someone with a deformity, for example, may have a perceived disability. The ADA has wide reach, and you may be protected by it even if you don’t have a traditional disability.
- Those with special conditions: This can include pregnancy, cancer, and other conditions that may not be disabilities but are reasons for reasonable protections.
We want to hear from you if you believe you experienced discrimination and suffered negative consequences. Our Florida ADA violations lawyer from our team will seek justice for rights violations that have occurred.

Examples of Employment-Related ADA Violations
The U.S. Department of Labor states explicitly that job seekers and employees have ADA protections. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission notes that, in 2008, legislators further expanded protections for job seekers and employees.
Examples of potential work-related ADA violations include:
- Refusing to interview or hire a person based on a physical, mental, or cosmetic disability
- Firing a disabled (or pregnant) employee without just cause
- Evaluating an employee negatively because of a disability
- Failing to promote an individual based on their disability (rather than their performance)
If you believe an employer or prospective employer’s actions were discriminatory, tell us about it.
Examples of Housing-Related ADA Violations
Housing is another common source of ADA violations. Housing-related ADA violations may include:
- Failure to install disability-related accommodations in a residential facility
- Refusing to rent to someone with a disability
- Evicting a tenant based on circumstances related to their disability
- Taking discriminatory action toward a renter, buyer, or prospective customer in the housing market
Even those who do not intend to be discriminatory can violate the ADA.
