ADA & WCAG Legal Risk Assessment

This free assessment estimates the ADA Title III and Title II legal exposure of your website based on a few questions about your site profile — page count, monthly traffic, industry, the assistive technologies your visitors use, and whether you accept payments or government benefits online. The result is an at-a-glance risk band (low, moderate, elevated, high) plus a plain-English breakdown of why.

Why this matters. ADA website lawsuits and pre-litigation demand letters continue to climb year over year. Plaintiffs' firms increasingly use automated accessibility scanners to identify candidate defendants, and a single demand letter can cost $10,000 to $25,000 to resolve quietly — a full lawsuit and consent decree can run $50,000 to $100,000 or more, on top of the cost of remediating the underlying violations anyway. State-level statutes (California's Unruh Act being the best known) also let plaintiffs stack statutory damages per visit, which is why small businesses with no federal exposure still get sued under state law.

For state and local government entities, the DOJ's ADA Title II final rule sets a firm WCAG 2.1 AA conformance deadline (April 24, 2026 for entities with 50,000+ residents, April 26, 2027 for smaller entities). Missing the deadline is itself an enforcement trigger — DOJ does not have to wait for a complaint.
