Failure to comply with Section 508 of the Department of Justice’s ADA (American with Disabilities Act) Standards for Accessible Design could expose your company to hefty fines, the risk of expensive criminal, and civil litigation.

Websites that do not meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards can be fined up to $50,000 for a 1st violation and $100,000 for a 2nd.  Compensation of damages add to your already large monetary risk.

Failure to make website accessible to the visually impaired..

Bed Bath & Beyond, Ace Hardware, Estee Lauder, JC Penny, and Home Depot, among others,  have recently been sued by blind or visually impaired plaintiffs, alleging that the retailers’ websites are not accessible to the blind as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Be Proactive

Once you are served, your only recourse is to settle or battle it out in court.

Having our web accessibility tool on your website is not something the plaintiff’s lawyer wants to see. 

Submission of screenshots of our tool on your website and invoices paid dating back prior to the hypothetical incident is almost always sufficient for the judge to dismiss the case, if the lawyer is willing to proceed in the first place.
