How Lawsuits Happen
From Missing Alt Text to a
$30,000 Demand Letter
Most business owners don't know how ADA web lawsuits actually work. Here's the process that generated 4,000+ lawsuits in 2025.
Step 1
A Barrier Exists
Your website has elements that people with disabilities can't use — missing labels, broken navigation, inaccessible forms. They may not be visible to you, but they block real people from accessing your business.
Step 2
Plaintiff Firms Scan Your Site
Specialized law firms use automated scanners — tools similar to ours — to crawl thousands of websites per week, flagging sites with WCAG violations.
Step 3
You Get a Demand Letter
A formal complaint is filed. You now choose: settle for $10,000–$75,000+ or fight it in federal court. Either way, you still have to fix the violations — plus legal fees.

The Same Test Plaintiff Lawyers Use Against You
WCAG 2.2 AA is the standard cited in every ADA lawsuit. Now you can run it yourself — before their attorneys do.
Know Which Violations End Up in Demand Letters
Critical issues first — the violations most likely to trigger demand letters. Cosmetic issues last. You'll know exactly where to focus — and what to ignore.
The Report a Plaintiff Attorney Would Get — Before They Do
Every violation. Estimated remediation cost for each. Fix instructions your developer can copy-paste. Not a vague 'accessibility score' — a detailed audit your attorney can actually use.
