How to Reduce Risk of Being Sued Website Accessibility (2025 ADA Lawsuit Report Data)

Kris covers ADA website lawsuit data from Ecomback's mid-year 2025 report, revealing a shocking 37% surge in accessibility lawsuits as litigation spreads beyond California, New York, and Florida into new states nationwide. He breaks down the alarming statistics showing that serial plaintiffs and law firms are driving the majority of cases, with restaurants and retail being the most targeted industries. The discussion explores why accessibility widgets fail to prevent lawsuits (22% of sued sites had widgets installed), the evolution of plaintiff strategies beyond simple scans to include manual testing for keyboard navigation and focus indicators, and the reality that for every filed complaint, 7-10 demand letters are sent out first. Kris emphasizes that this isn't about genuine accessibility barriers but serial litigation targeting business owners. He explains why relying on automated scans or overlay widgets is insufficient, highlighting how plaintiff attorneys now employ sophisticated teams and methods. The video covers platform vulnerabilities (Shopify leads at 32% of cases), common lawsuit triggers like missing alt text and inaccessible forms, and the importance of taking proactive action rather than hoping it won't happen to you. The data reveals that Illinois is surging as a new hotspot with 237 cases, while traditional leaders New York (637), Florida (487), and California (380) continue to dominate. Kris warns that the concentration of cases among just 31 repeat plaintiffs and 16 law firms demonstrates the industrial nature of this litigation, with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake driving increasingly sophisticated targeting methods. Kris also completely dismisses ADA website widgets as they clearly do not prevent lawsuits (which is exactly why most website owners buy them). He stresses that businesses across all industries and platforms remain vulnerable, regardless of size or perceived risk level, as plaintiff attorneys expand their reach and refine their methods. Finally, Kris highly recommends immediate, strategic action toward full WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA conformance. He emphasizes the importance of user testing with disabled users as compelling evidence and warns against the marketplace deception that leads businesses to waste money on ineffective solutions while remaining legally exposed.
