Website Accessibility Lawsuits Under California Unruh Civil Rights Act: More Damages for Plaintiffs vs. ADA


Listen Later

Kris Rivenburgh explains what the California Unruh Civil Rights Act is and how it's related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and website accessibility complaints / lawsuits and demand letters.

While there is a great technical argument that the Unruh Act only applies to physical structures of businesses in California, plaintiffs' law firms are nevertheless initiating litigation against digital assets of companies headquartered in other states.

Kris designed the ADA Compliance Course (ACC) as instructions you can give your team to fix the most commonly claimed issues in ADA website lawsuits. The ACC is really an SOP for your web team. Your team can get started in minutes at https://ADACompliance.net/.
