Some of the many important topics considered include: *The true definition of a disability under the ADA *Essential functions, major life activities, and tasks: what they are and what they mean *What constitutes undue hardship for employers *The concept of good faith and steps to ensure a defendant will meet the standard *Drug and alcohol abuse: when they are and are not disabilities *How reasonable modification" is defined and interpreted *New and existing commercial public facilities and their architectural requirements Delving into many of the complex topics of disability claims and reflecting ADA cases decided by the Supreme Court and appellate courts, this updated edition offers expanded guidance on remedies if the law is violated; advice on when you have a right to sue; the statute of limitations for claims; and whether a class-action is a viable thing to pursue. Written from the perspective of a lawyer with a disability (the author was born with a severe to profound hearing loss and wears hearing aids), this to-the-point guide demonstrates that the Americans with Disabilities Act is not just a law, but a way of life.
