People with disabilities can also file complaints with the Department of Justice, which can investigate and attempt to resolve the complaint.
The Department of Justice is also authorized to bring ADA lawsuits in federal court.
Some states have laws similar to the ADA, but they are enforced in the state’s court system or by local civil rights commissions.
