How Much is Your Business at Risk?
Privacy and Website Accessibility Laws for Small Businesses
Being a busy small business owner, the last thing you want to see as you start your work day is a demand letter from an attorney. It can be jarring to read a detailed account of the ways their client has found your website in violation of privacy and disability laws alongside the expensive settlement terms being demanded within a short timeline to comply.
A growing trend of costly legal challenges for small businesses over recent years is centered around national and global privacy laws together with recent changes to how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) impacts business websites.
For ADA web-accessibility litigation alone, the average growth rate of demand letters and lawsuits has been steadily increasing since 2019. The typical lawsuit settlement ranges from $20,000 to $50,000.
The good news is that safeguarding your website and supporting all potential customers for your business has never been easier!
