An ADAP Attorney Discusses an Alabama Disability Discrimination Controversy
An attorney with the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program shed light on the legal options for people who feel they have been discriminated against because of their disability.
Senior trial counsel, Larry Canada, with ADAP said because we don’t know what happened before or after customer Scott East began recording the incident at Weiss Lake Lodge in Centre, AL, he said he could not say it was a clear case of discrimination; but Canada said he does find issues in the way the motel handled the situation.
“If there was no room available, they should’ve just said that,” Canada said.
East accused the motel of refusing to book him a room because he’s in a wheelchair.
