theboxmedia.com - In 2019 there were about 11,053 lawsuits targeting websites and mobile apps for their alleged noncompliance with ADA.
Many of those lawsuits include hotels, restaurants, and retailers, but other industries have also been involved. Lawsuits can easily be avoided, however, by having a website that’s fully accessible to everyone.
"If a website or mobile application is found not to offer equal access according to the standard guidelines called the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A/AA, this could bring about complaints, routinely called Demand Letters, against the owners of the digital content. This is typically the first step that can lead to a pricey settlement or into lengthy and serious litigation.
Having a WCAG 2.1 A/AA accessibility audit performed on your website or mobile application provides your organization with the information you need to ensure your site is compliant and conforms to WCAG 2.1 A/AA."
