Kris Rivenburgh dissects the total cost of an ADA website lawsuit with an expected conservative price tag of $23,000 and a range starting at $10,500 for the least possible expense and ranging up to $51,500 on the higher end. Of course, it is possible that your cost ends up lower or higher depending on various factors (e.g., law firm, state, size of entity, etc.), but these dollar amounts help guide expectations.

Here is the price breakdown of expected costs:
Defense attorney: $5,000 ($2,500 - $9,000)
Settlement amount: $7,500 ($3,000 - $20,000)
Accessibility audit: $5,000 ($2,500 - $10,000)
Remediation: $5,500 ($2,500 - $12,500)
Grand Total: $23,000
Range: $10,500 - $51,500
Other possible settlement stipulations:
Annual audit: $5,000
Annual user testing: $2,500
On two positive notes, there is a potential tax credit available for ADA
