  • Better Than a CLE: Attorneys Defending ADA Website Accessibility Lawsuits Need This Course

    Kris Rivenburgh explains why defense attorneys defending against ADA website compliance litigation need the ADA Compliance Course. While there are CLEs that cover the Americans with Disabilities Act and website accessibility litigation, none help you understand the specific technical issues that can help you minimize claims being made by plaintiffs law firms.

    Most defense attorneys enter into settlement negotiations with no little to no knowledge of the accessibility issues that are being claimed against their clients. This greatly reduces the attorney's ability to defend the claims. The ADA Compliance Course will immediately level up any defense attorney's arsenal and help combat the claims that many times plaintiff's lawyers themselves don't fully understand.
    Although the ADA Compliance Course is designed for website owners to give to their web teams, it works seamlessly as education that defense attorneys can use to provide their clients a better edge in settlement negotiations - and possibly even litigation in court.

  • The State of ADA Website Compliance in California

    Two weeks after this video was published, a new amendment to a bill (AB-1757) was proposed that would require WCAG 2.1 AA conformance of websites and mobile apps. The bill would have far reaching consequences. You can read about it here:

    https://krisrivenburgh.medium.com/ab-1757-new-california-bill-would-increase-website-accessibility-lawsuits-across-u-s-d68157c70304
    Kris Rivenburgh covers the state of ADA Website Compliance in California. The two primary laws in play are the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Unruh Civil Rights Act (Unruh Act). Also, one huge and recent development is online-only can no longer be effectively sued in California state or federal court.
    Additionally, litigation may happen randomly or a number of businesses within a specific niche or industry may be sued. Industries targeted include dentists, plastic surgeons, restaurants, bike shops, breweries, and cannabis shops among others.
    California plaintiffs law firms that have been involved in litigation include Pacific Trial Attorneys, Manning Law, The Hill Law Firm, Potter Handy (Center for Disability Access), and The Wilshire Law Firm.
    Also note that the California Consumer Privacy Act also touches upon website accessibility. You can watch my video on the CCPA here:

  • Making Money in Digital Accessibility: The One Catch

    Kris explains the one catch to making money in digital accessibility: you must do so in an ethical manner. There is a tremendous amount of fraud on the part of sellers in website accessibility, especially when it comes to overlays. If you become a seller of digital accessibility products or services, you can't participate in or promote fraud because it directly or indirectly negatively impacts the quality of lives for millions of people.
