A: The appropriate amount of damages to seek depends on many factors unique to your individual situation, such as:

1. The nature and severity of the alleged ADA violation(s)

2. The extent of any harm or losses you suffered as a result

3. The strength of the evidence supporting your claims

4. Applicable laws and legal precedents in your jurisdiction

Given the complexities involved, it is crucial to consult with an experienced employment law attorney who specializes in ADA cases and retaliation claims. They can review the details of your case, advise you on the merits of your claims, and provide guidance on an appropriate damages amount to seek based on the specific facts and circumstances.

Attorneys often offer free initial consultations, so it may be worthwhile to speak with a few to get their professional opinions before proceeding. Remember that each case is unique, and what might be an appropriate damages request in one situation could be quite different in another. Wishing you all the best as you navigate this challenging situation.
