Inaccessibility Isn’t Just a Problem. It’s a Legal Liability.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates accessibility – and that includes your website. Since 2018, websites are viewed as "public places" under the law, meaning that digital accessibility is no longer a choice; it’s a requirement.
A Missed Opportunity and a Looming Risk
Complying with WCAG: The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the industry standard for accessibility. Following these isn’t just ethical – it keeps you on the right side of the law.
Section 508 Compliance: If your business works with federal agencies or receives federal funding, Section 508 requires that all your digital assets are accessible.
Regional Regulations: If you're operating in California, New York, or Ontario, be aware of local laws like NYHRA, UNRUH, and AODA that add further requirements.
The Rising Tide of Lawsuits
In 2022 alone, over 3,250 lawsuits were filed for inaccessible websites, and more than 100,000 businesses received demand letters. Fines can reach up to $150,000 per incident, with average settlements ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. Don’t wait until you’re forced into compliance – make it part of your business strategy today.
