In 2025, a single plaintiff filed ADA web accessibility lawsuits against 49 small businesses in Gainesville, Florida — in the same calendar year. Uppercrust Bakery settled for roughly $6,500. Satchel's Pizza fought the case, had it dismissed, and still spent months in litigation paying legal fees they will never recover.

The case settled for approximately $6,500 plus attorney fees — the owner later described having to sell over 1,300 croissants just to break even on the cost.
