This is because the courts and judges in these states are most familiar with ADA web accessibility cases and often rule in favor of the plaintiff. As of the end of 2023, the number of digital accessibility lawsuits continues to rise, and New York had more federal and state law filings than any other state. In the report, UsableNet indicates this because of a few reasons:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To be sued, businesses do not need to be located in New York State—they only need customers in the state. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Courts in New York don’t require businesses to have a physical location.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some of the most active plaintiffs and plaintiff attorney firms are based in New York. </span></li> </ul> <div class="mceTemp"></div> <div id="attachment_32612" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-32612" class="wp-image-32612 size-large ewww_webp_lazy_load" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20600%20474'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Bar graph comparing the number of cases in New York, California, and Florida in 2023.

Taylor notes in the blog that these lawsuits “allege violations of the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL), the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL), and the New York State Civil Rights Law (NYSCRL).”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of note, a new trend of federal lawsuits emerged in New Jersey and Wisconsin, which had no digital accessibility filings in 2022 but had 33 and 11 cases filed in 2023, respectively.

The ADA was enacted in 1990, well before the prevalence of the internet, so many assumed that it only applied to physical structures.</p> <p>Much has changed since the enactment of the ADA. The internet has become a vital resource that many people rely on for communication, entertainment, goods, services, and more. Millions of businesses have an online presence. Without an accessible website, users with disabilities are excluded from participating in a major part of society, and businesses are vulnerable to a potential lawsuit. The growing number of cases against businesses that fail to create inclusive web experiences (and the subsequent rulings against them) has created a strong precedent that the ADA also applies to the internet. The result? Businesses that aren’t prioritizing digital accessibility are experiencing legal repercussions.</p> <p>In many ADA-based cases, the courts favor the plaintiff. Law firms representing plaintiffs are realizing this and using it as an opportunity to sue organizations with inaccessible websites. So if companies continue to fail at providing accessible digital experiences, we’ll likely continue to see an increase in lawsuits in the coming years. </div></div> <h3>Lainey Feingold’s Perspective on the Growing Number of Digital Accessibility Lawsuits</h3> <p>Internationally recognized disability rights lawyer, author, and speaker <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.lflegal.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lainey Feingold</a></strong></span> shared her concerns with the growing number of digital accessibility lawsuits during her annual <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/blog/lainey-feingolds-annual-digital-accessibility-legal-update/">Digital Accessibility Legal Update</a></strong></span> with 3Play Media.</p> <div class="su-quote su-quote-style-default su-quote-has-cite"><div class="su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim">The problem I have with so many lawsuits is there’s a lot of attention on what’s filed, but there’s not a lot of attention on what the results are.

Websites are the primary targets for ADA-based lawsuits, making up 97% of total digital accessibility lawsuits, and video accessibility makes up less than 1%, according to the report. However, it’s important to note that video accessibility is still essential to making a website accessible. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">As technology expands into every aspect of our lives, much of the web and its contents, including video and audio, remain inaccessible to disabled users.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A number of businesses and organizations have been sued for failing to make their videos and podcasts accessible, just like with websites. </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/learn/accessibility/accessibility-laws/#lawsuits">Netflix, Amazon, and FedEx have all been sued</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for having inaccessible videos, while podcast platforms </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/blog/new-lawsuit-looks-to-end-inaccessibility-of-popular-podcast-platforms/">SiriusXM, Stitcher, and Pandora were sued</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for not offering transcripts. Those not in the entertainment or commerce spaces, like </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/blog/takeaways-from-uc-berkeleys-consent-decree-with-the-doj/">UC Berkeley</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">,</span> have also faced legal challenges for a lack of accessible content. These lawsuits have set a strong precedent that the ADA usually applies to video and audio content—even when there is no nexus to a physical location.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to UsableNet, </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://blog.usablenet.com/7-facts-your-ecommerce-company-should-know-about-ada-web-lawsuits">the plaintiff in an ADA web accessibility lawsuit will likely have a visual disability</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Most of the more than 4,000 ADA web accessibility lawsuits filed in 2022 and </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://blog.usablenet.com/five-years-of-ada-web-and-app-lawsuits-key-observations-and-trends">the nearly 16,000 ADA web accessibility lawsuits filed in the last five years</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> had plaintiffs with visual disabilities. Plaintiffs with auditory disabilities came in second. Claims filed by people with hearing disabilities often focused on digital accessibility issues for video, such as a lack of captions or missing audio descriptions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For a video to be accessible and compliant with </span><a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WCAG 2.0 Level AA</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it must include services such as </span><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/services/captioning/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>captioning</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/services/audio-description/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>audio description</strong></span></span></a> and <span style="font-weight: 400;">be hosted on an accessible video player. </span><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/services/podcast-transcription/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>For a podcast to be accessible</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it must have transcripts.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is no quick fix to accessibility, so businesses must invest in reputable solutions. 3Play Media has been a leader in the media accessibility space since 2008 and provides </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.3playmedia.com/why-3play/3play-difference/">solutions to make your media fully accessible</a></strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is still much work to be done regarding digital accessibility. But as further guidance and regulations on web accessibility are made available in the U.S., we hope to see the number of ADA-based digital accessibility lawsuits decrease.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the meantime, businesses must be proactive regarding digital accessibility. By prioritizing accessibility, organizations can create inclusive digital experiences for all users while also having the added benefit of avoiding potential ADA violations and lawsuits.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="su-spacer" style="height:20px"></div></span></p> <div class="su-divider su-divider-style-default" style="margin:5px 0;border-width:5px;border-color:#e6006f"></div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="su-spacer" style="height:20px"></div></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more about how the ADA impacts online video accessibility:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div class="su-spacer" style="height:20px"></div></span></p> <p><a href="https://go.3playmedia.com/wp-ada" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-29588 size-full ewww_webp_lazy_load" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201000%20286'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="How the ADA Impacts Online Video Accessibility CTA.
