New association is fighting for the rights of people with disabilities!

Yara Hofbauer and Philipp Hochenburger, with the founding of the Responsabilitas Association, have set a strong sign of the rights of people with disabilities. With the aim of supporting people in legal disputes, they try to provide practical validity in our society. Like Madonna , the two founders have learned with which hurdles had to fight affected people. While Philipp is paraplegic after a car accident, Yara as a lawyer understands the difficulties with which clients are often faced. The association is committed to enabling the financing of legal advice and pointing out the often existing legal protection gaps.

A visible problem that Hofbauer and Hochenburg address is the lack of accessibility in numerous facilities. Yara Hofbauer explains that many legal claims for people with disabilities are often insufficiently secured. In addition, the statistics provide alarming information: People with disabilities are affected by poverty twice as often. A broad support from the new association should enable those affected not depend on happiness, but can effectively enforce their rights. The law firm for people with special needs also provides special individual offers in order to make legal contact as barrier -free as possible. These include advice outside of conventional working hours and the opportunity to have discussions about professional interpreting services for hearing impaired people.

use for clients

Responsabilitas strives to offer support not only for strategically significant cases, but also for everyday problems that affect people with disabilities. Financed through members and donations, the association remains independent and can fully concentrate on the needs of its clients. Philipp Hochenburger and Yara Hofbauer want as many people with disabilities as possible benefit from their initiative and enforce their rights, thereby setting new standards for law in Austria.
