ADA Website Lawsuits
Can I be sued over an inaccessible website? Yes. ADA web accessibility lawsuits and demand letters are common in the US, often filed by repeat plaintiffs. The most reliable protection is a site that genuinely conforms to WCAG, since overlays are frequently named in these suits rather than accepted as a defense.
questions
Frequently asked
Who files these lawsuits?
Often individual plaintiffs and law firms; many cases start with a demand letter rather than a filed suit.
Does an overlay protect me?
No. Overlays are not a reliable defense and can attract complaints; conformance belongs in the code. (Not legal advice.)
What should I do if I receive a demand letter?
Do not ignore it, avoid hasty signatures, get the real state assessed and remediate verifiably; consult a lawyer for the legal response.
