But when an employer or the government fails to take the necessary steps of following the Americans with Disabilities Act, you might not be able to take care of your business. That's where a New Jersey disability lawyer can help.

In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed to prohibit any kind of disability discrimination in work environments. This legislature has helped thousands of Americans living with disability to obtain employment and assist those with disabilities have access to the same services as people without disabilities.

Janeal Lee found her title of Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin rescinded when the pageant's organizers decided that she isn't disabled enough. Lee has muscular dystrophy and primarily uses a scooter to get around, but she is able to stand. Commentator Lennard Davis says the pageant's decision is wrong, and that definitions of disability need to become less stereotypical.
