The ADA Compliance Crisis

Website accessibility lawsuits are skyrocketing. Is your business at risk?

8,800 ADA Lawsuits in 2024

Lawsuits increased 7% year-over-year (UsableNet). Universities, enterprises, and government agencies face $50K-$100K average costs in settlements and legal fees. Higher education and public sector entities are increasingly targeted.

98% Fail WCAG Compliance

WebAIM found 98% of websites have detectable failures. For institutions, this includes LMS platforms, course materials, and document archives. Common issues: missing alt text (58%), low contrast (83%), empty links (48%).

$50K-$100K Average Settlement

Legal defense alone costs $20K-$75K. Most settle for $50K-$100K plus remediation costs. Lawsuits take 12-24 months, diverting resources and damaging reputation. Prevention is 10x cheaper than defense.

Risk Losing Federal Funding

Universities receiving federal aid must comply with Section 504. The OCR opened 100+ reviews in 2022 (DOE). Non-compliance can risk federal funding: student aid, research grants, and contracts.

Manual Audits Too Slow

Traditional audits cost $5K-$15K and take 2-4 weeks. For universities with thousands of courses, this is unsustainable. By the time you're done, content has changed and you're non-compliant again.

Don't Exclude 26% of Americans

61 million Americans have disabilities. Accessible platforms aren't just legally required—they drive results. Organizations see 28% higher revenue and 72% better customer retention.

Widgets Don't Prevent Lawsuits

250+ lawsuits filed against sites using overlays in 2024. Courts reject widgets as full compliance. Complex content like LaTeX, PDFs, and video lectures need real fixes, not quick patches.
