Thanks to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, you are actually protected in these circumstances. Let’s take a look at how these government protections benefit you:
How the ADA Standards for Accessible Design Protects You
The ADA Standards for Accessible Design was enacted in 2010 with the express purpose of protecting people with disabilities by establishing official guidelines that businesses have to follow in order to make their building accessible to everyone. The Americans with Disabilities Act instructs companies on how their buildings are to be designed and is ultimately a protection for anyone with a disability.
