Are there consumer protections for consumers with disabilities?

Yes, Arizona provides consumer protections for consumers with disabilities. The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on an individual’s disability. This law requires businesses to make reasonable modifications to accommodate customers with disabilities, such as providing accessible parking and entrance ramps. The ADA also protects people with disabilities from being denied goods and services, or treated differently because of their disability. In addition to the ADA, Arizona has its own state law, the Arizona Persons With Disabilities Act (APDA). This law goes even further than the ADA, providing additional protection for people with disabilities. The APDA includes provisions that grant people with disabilities access to public services, protect them against discrimination, and require businesses to make reasonable modifications to assist customers with disabilities. For example, businesses must provide access to restaurants, stores, public parks, and other places of public accommodation for people with mobility issues. Businesses are also required to provide assistance to the visually impaired, such as providing Braille instructions or other tactile aids. In short, Arizona provides consumers with disabilities strong legal protections. If you feel that you have been discriminated against because of your disability, please contact an attorney specializing in consumer rights.
