For business

Is your website a lawsuit waiting to happen?

In 2025, plaintiffs filed 3,117 federal website accessibility lawsuits under ADA Title III — up 27% over 2024, and more than 5,000 once state courts are counted. There's no small-business exemption. See exactly where you stand before a demand letter does.

Are you at risk?

  • No exemption for small business

    There's no revenue threshold in the statute. The majority of web accessibility suits target companies with under $25M in revenue.

  • It's on your doorstep

    Florida saw 961 federal filings in 2025 — nearly double 2024 — second only to New York. These suits can be filed wherever a user accesses your site.

  • Most sites fail

    WebAIM's 2025 review of the top one million homepages found ~95% have detectable accessibility barriers.

  • Being sued once isn't the end

    46% of 2025 federal cases involved companies that had already been sued at least once. A fix without monitoring just resets the clock.

The overlay trap

A widget is not a fix.

In the first half of 2025, 22.64% of web accessibility lawsuits targeted sites that already had an accessibility widget installed. In 2025 the FTC fined one of the largest overlay vendors $1 million for misrepresenting its tool as guaranteed ADA compliance. You can't script your way out of this — OctoComply measures what's actually broken and remediates the site itself.

The math

What it costs to do nothing.

Resolution costs scale with how far a claim goes. Remediation costs a fraction of a single settlement — and, unlike a settlement, it actually removes the underlying exposure.
