ADA Litigation is up 320%
What has Changed?

WAI-AA & WCAG 2.1 are updates to the W3C’s (Governing Body of the Internet) guidelines that have made any business with both a physical location and website susceptible to ADA compliance litigation.

What are the Most Common Claims?

The most common types of online accessibility claims:

  • Accessibility for the visually impaired 
  • Accessibility for the hearing impaired 

This is the internet equivalent to the parking spots and doorway width lawsuits that we have all dealt with.

Don’t be a Target
Claim Prevention is Key

The above examples constitute the vast majority of any type of claim and our tool addresses the vast majority of these issues. ADA website claim prevention is our focus, the best deterrent is to cover as many bases as reasonably possible avoiding making your business a target for lawsuits.

We Partnered with a Top
ADA Compliance Law Firm

In response, Einstein Industries has been working with a defense firm that specializes in ADA compliance.  They have reported a dramatic rise in "abusive ADA drive-by lawsuits" in which petty suits are filed against large volumes of businesses in the hope of quick cash settlements.  After reviewing and/or resolving over 1,200 ADA claims, it is their view that the vast majority of all these ADA claims are bogus and abusive.

What We Are Recommending

Working in conjunction with this ADA litigation defense firm, Einstein is advising clients to add our new Enhanced ADA Compliance Package to be better protected from such claims.

Am I Not
Already Protected? 

You are but we are focusing on claim prevention vs prevailing against litigation (deterrence vs defense). There is a strong core level of recommendations your Einstein Forever Website currently adheres to. For example, clear heading structures, online forms with labels, and HTML that is coded for accessibility.

Jointly, We Created
the Highest Level of Protection

At Einstein, we believe that deterrence is the best form of protection. The goal is to have your business and web presence protected head and shoulders above your competition. Einstein offers a series of low-cost elements that can be enabled on your website. We encourage the following elements as part of our Enhanced ADA Compliance package:

  • ALT Tag Audit and update for all images
  • Addition of an accessibility statement
  • Accessibility Widget installed (change font, contrast, size, etc.)
  • Closed Captions for all videos

Have Video and Embedded Players on Your Website? Einstein has partnered with the same company that offers closed captioning and transcription services to the United Nations, going well beyond the standard YouTube offering.

Einstein’s Existing Compliance
Helped Win a Frivolous Lawsuit

As an example, one of our long-term clients had a suit brought against them but it was ultimately thrown out due to the already existing compliance features of his Forever Website.
