  • [Website Owners Only] - You Are In ADA Compliance Trouble!

    From Gary Holm@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 16 11:19:21 2020
    Dear “misc.jobs.misc” member,

    This message is containing important information strictly for Website owners ONLY!
    If you are not a website owner, please disregard this message.

    The Covid-19 crisis has made a surge in Lawsuits made against websites not complying with the ADA regulations.

    ADA is an acronym for “Americans with Disability Act” and it INCLUDES WEBSITES

    As a Website Owner YOU are responsible for facilitating easy access to your website for people with disabilities, including the blind, the deaf and those that have different other physical challenges navigating the site.

    - In 2018, a historic supreme court judgment caused a surge in website owners being sued for non-compliance with ADA.

    - It was filed more than 1500 legal cases related to non-accessibility compliance in New York alone

    - More than 10 000 websites sued in 2019 for their website not being ADA compliant

    - This number is expected to hit 100 000 by next year

    - However, numbers are quite unpredictable for the moment due to the COVID-19 Crisis. Away from the fact that there is a sharp increase and that this have started to hit the headlines of various media.

    Unlike GDPR, The ADA law requires no notice before a lawsuit is filed against a company for non-compliance.

    The law provides no time for a company to take action before a lawsuit is filed, and it offers no real defense to a company after a lawsuit has been filed.

    Most small business and website owners sued pay between $20 000 to 200 000 as out of court settlement.

    A recent settlement was $6 million.

    Businesses have spent an average of $3 000 to $50 000 to get their website fixed.
