Rosemary Enright and Mike Sciotti welcome their Barclay Damon colleague Rob Thorpe to discuss the rise in ADA-related website accessibility lawsuits, especially against businesses (and employers) with public-facing websites. Rob explains common claims involving screen-reader access, e-commerce barriers, and insufficient accessibility information. He discusses legal uncertainty, frequent filers, and defenses such as standing and mootness. Touching on limited insurance coverage, the episode also suggests that businesses audit their websites, review vendor contracts carefully, remediate deficiencies, and monitor accessibility regularly.
