Can an Aide File an ADA Lawsuit?

William wrote that he is wheelchair bound, hemiparalyzed and brain injured, and he wants to help.  Williams is like many of our "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" in that they need and have aides.  I get asked, can an aide file a lawsuit?  And the answer is no.

However, an aid can accompany the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" and record the information for the lawsuit, such as checking into the hotel, motel or time-share, and taking the photographs.  The complaint must be in the name of the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" and may also include the name of the aide.  In fact we encourage the aide's who accompanied the "Watchdogs in Wheelchairs" on the building visit be listed.

For further detail comment here or on our FB page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Access-Technologies-Services-Inc/268659564730#!/?sk=lf.  Or give me a call at (702) 649-7575 or email me at hfalstad@accessts.net.
