The trend of rising federal lawsuits stemming from alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) continue to affect many businesses in the United States, including the self storage industry. Compliance with the ADA regulations is critical to avoid fines and lawsuits that could cripple your business. It is important to understand that ADA claims or fines are not covered under your standard package insurance policy. In rare cases you may find limited coverage under a separate Employment Practices Liability policy.
Universal Insurance Programs has been a long time partner and advocate to the self storage industry and we feel it is important to provide our customers with information to protect their business even when insurance is not a solution.
Randy Tipton, President of Universal Insurance Programs, provides additional ADA compliance insight in the below short video.
