All of the above plans require either the law to not apply to the situation or for there to be a plan in place to fix the issue. If you do not have an ADA compliance plan in place and the ADA laws apply to your business, then you may need to take one of the following strategies:
● Subrogation – Filing a lawsuit against the contractor or designer who fitted out your business. This is a separate lawsuit where you try to recover some or all of the amount you paid because of the lawsuit.
● Early settlement – By settling early, you can reduce the damage the lawsuit may cause. You will often reduce the damage to your reputation and the defense cost.
● An offer of judgement – This is similar to a settlement, but along with the settlement, you sign a promise to remedy the issue in question. An offer of judgement is often the best way to reduce the damage to your reputation as you are taking the issue seriously.
