Lawsuit Trends - ADA-related Lawsuits on Businesses

In recent years, the legal landscape has witnessed a surge in the number of ADA-related lawsuits and demand letters, particularly focusing on web accessibility. This shift has put numerous businesses under scrutiny, with hundreds of thousands receiving demand letters annually. Surprisingly, only a small percentage of these cases end up in trials, as most are settled beforehand. The year 2022 saw a record-breaking 3,250 ADA web accessibility lawsuits filed, shedding light on the pressing need for businesses to ensure their websites comply with ADA regulations.

To put this into perspective, it is estimated that over 100,000 business owners received demand letters in 2022 alone for failing to provide accessible websites. The trend is concerning, with an average annual increase of 13% in web accessibility-related lawsuits since 2019. The consequences of non-compliance can be severe, with fines reaching up to $150,000 for ADA violations. Moreover, the average settlement for an ADA website lawsuit typically falls between $20,000 and $50,000.
