The Cost of Non-Compliance

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that websites be accessible to people with disabilities, including public accommodations. In 2023, 4,605 lawsuits were filed against organizations that failed to comply with ADA accessibility guidelines, which is a 42% increase from 2022. These lawsuits can result in fines, attorney’s fees, plaintiff costs, and the need to make the website accessible. Fines for ADA violations can start at $55,000 and go up to $150,000. Settlement amounts for ADA website lawsuits typically range from $5,000 to $20,000, but small businesses may settle for less.

Notable cases include:

  • Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment: Sued for having a website that was inaccessible to visually impaired users. The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount, but it is believed to be in the millions.
  • Domino’s Pizza: Sued in 2019 by a blind man for violating ADA Title III because the website and mobile app were inaccessible with screen readers. The case went to the Supreme Court, which declined to hear it in October 2019, allowing the case to proceed in federal court.
  • Fox News Network: Sued in 2018 by a class action lawsuit that claimed the website contained barriers for users who are legally blind.
  • Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores: Sued in 2016, the grocery chain was found to have violated the ADA because its website was inaccessible to the blind plaintiff.
