California takes ADA compliance very seriously; state law declares that any business that chooses to violate the act is also committing a civil rights violation. Therefore, a violator can expect to be fined a minimum of $4000, in addition to any legal costs they incur.
There are two options for filing an ADA complaint: Online. File a complaint by submitting a report on the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division website. Mail. Fill out and send the paper ADA Complaint Form (Regular Format | Large Format) or a letter containing the same information, to: U.S. Department of Justice.
