Filing an ADA Complaint
Question:
How do I file a complaint under ADA for a business located in Cook County?
Answer:
Thank you for your ADA question. ADA Complaints can be filed in many different places: Federal Court, State Court, the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the Cook County Department of Human Rights, and the Chicago Commission on Human Relations. I am attaching a fact sheet from Equip for Equality, the Illinois Protection and Advocacy Agency for people with disabilities. This fact sheet concerns employment filings, but much of the information is the same. You can contact Equip for Equality, which also manages the Illinois ADA Project, to get more information and possibly assistance with filing. If you would like to provide more details regarding the accessibility problems that you are encountering, please feel free to let me know and I may be able to provide you more specific information. I hope this helps. Thank you.
I hope this information helps answer your question. Please feel free to contact me if you desire any additional information.
Sincerely,
