ADA America Disabilities Act I am disabled. In California. The Marina I have a boat at has many obstacles to access from steep short ramps, high steps, narrow doors, walkways that are uneven, and I don't know what else that are not to standards.How do I get it inspected, made more accessible? I understand there are attorneys who will file a suite against the marina. I have heard that ADA has provisions to pay the attorney.Question: How do I get an attorney to help me clean up the marinas barriers?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): California Already Tried: Nothing
Not sure where you are in California, but here is a link to tons of California attorneys who will sue the crap out of that marina and get you a huge judgment and accommodation you are legally entitled to under the ADA, plus recover attorneys fees for you. These guys are out for bear and it sounds like you have a really viable case. Here is the link to winners who will make you a winner in this matter.http://attorneypages.com/562CA/index.htmTalk to a few of them, and pick one that you really like and connect with. I am positive you will be very pleased and get great results.I wish you all the best. Good luck and god bless.
Thank you for streamlining and simplifying this for me. I tried to make sense of the laws on line, but was overwhelmed.
If you get a judgment against the marina and they go out of business (say, they file bankruptcy) you would become an unsecured creditor of the marina. It just depends how much they have in assets after they file bankruptcy. Since you would be an unsecured creditor, you would be paid after the secured creditor (which are any creditors that have a properly perfected lien on the assets, such as any lenders for the land or boats that they own). Once the secured creditors are paid off, all of the unsecured creditors share pro rata in whatever assets are left over.If there are no assets left over, then you would get paid nothing on your judgment. On the other hand, if there are assets, you would receive a pro rata payment, along with the other unsecured creditors, which could range from 10 cents to up to 75 or 80 cents on the dollar, depending upon the value of the assets and how many unsecured creditors are making claims like you.Good luck to you. I wish you all the best.
Thanks,
That is correct. Assuming the corporation that was the defendant had other assets in other marinas etc. there would be money to pay the judgment.
