ADA Non-Compliance Lawsuits Skyrocket
Over the last 5 years lawsuit rates have risen at an unprecedented rate.
ADA compliance lawsuits over website design and accessibility are on the rise, and with little to no federal or state legislature surrounding this issue, serial plaintiffs are attacking small businesses and municipalities alike
Statistics surrounding ADA compliance lawsuits:
Settlement amount range from $25,000 to over $100,000
Over 142 municipalities have been sued
84% of cases have been small buisnesses with under $25 million in revenue
Since 2017, there has been a 466% increase in lawsuits
In 2023 alone, there were over 4,600 lawsuits
This chart shows the drastic increase in lawsuits from 2017 to 2023. In February of 2024 alone, over 316 lawsuits were filed.
Regardless of the rise in lawsuits, ADA compliance is a relevant and important topic when it comes to online accessibility. More than 25% of Americans live with disabilities that can make a website difficult to navigate including low motor skills, color blindness, and low vision. Elderly users can also benefit from websites being easier to navigate and more accessible.
ADA compliance is a complicated issue, but overall it is determined that a website must be compliant with ADA regulations and the WCAG 2.0 guidelines. There are 3 levels of compliance (A, AA, AAA), and the list of requirements is long.
It can also be very costly to fix the issues on websites with initial costs ranging from $6,000 to $20,000, plus $1000 to $3500 per month to monitor the site.
