Accessibility Design

We understand the critical importance of accessibility in both public and private spaces. Our accessibility design services are dedicated to ensuring that buildings, sites, and facilities meet all relevant standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. With our expertise, you can create environments that are safe, accessible, and compliant with legal standards.

The Department of Justice’s revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) were published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These regulations adopted revised,enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, “2010 Standards.” On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards was required for new construction and alterations under Titles II and III. March 15, 2012, is also the compliance date for using the 2010 Standards for program accessibility and barrier removal.

Accessibility design relates to the federally mandated standard of the ADA for commercial properties and the Fair Housing Act for many multi-family residences. The purpose of the ADA and Fair Housing Act is essentially to extend Civil Rights protection to disabled persons.

Testimonials

Winning cases requires a strong foundation of evidence and expertise. Here’s what our satisfied clients have to say about how The Accident Expert™ helped them achieve success

James McInnis

Retired judge

Big Lake/Lake Charles, LA

“Recently, I had need of technical information regarding those low profile concrete objects found in commercial handicapped parking areas, referred to as “wheel stops” / “car stops” / “tire stops.” At first glance, a person may wonder: “what technical information can possibly be associated with a plain stationary concrete object with no moving parts?” Well, as it turns out, Dr. Presswood furnished me with title, section, and paragraph of the ADA, ANSI and ASTM regulations and standards where “wheel stops” are referenced and the characteristics of what constitutes a “wheel stop.” Dr. Presswood dispelled any concerns I had about “wheel stops” when he unequivocally opined that “wheel stops” should never be used, period. By education, work history, and experience, I consider Dr. Presswood’s opinions on technical issues within his areas of expertise unimpeachable. Thank you, Dr. Presswood, for the pleasant experience I had working with you.”

Terry Michael

Executive Director of Washington Center for Politics & Journalism; former press secretary, Democratic National Committee:

“I’ve known Gary Presswood for over 40 years. His experience as a forensic engineer is unparalleled. During my career as a political press secretary, I worked for some of the best attorneys in the United States, including the late Charles T. Manatt, former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and cofounder of the internationally known law firm, Manatt Phelps, headquartered in California and Washington. There is no doubt in my mind that a company at that level would find Dr. Presswood’s expertise invaluable.”
