    Businesses Targeted With ADA Website Lawsuits

    Companies in Colorado being sued by a law firm all the way in New Jersey - they're called drive-by lawsuits that target businesses that aren't compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 


    Sloan Dickey talked to two local businesses say they're willing to comply but say this lawsuit is going too far. We wanted to share that with other people building back after covid has been a difficult task for the owners of Blanchard Family Wines and we've you know had more of an online presence we're doing a lot of online virtual tastings. But it's their online presence that may have uncorked difficulties none of them could have expected. 


    We've been served with a lawsuit in federal district court because our e-commerce site supposedly is not ADA accessible to all users citing violations to the Americans With Disabilities Act. A New Jersey law firm is taking his business to court there's no letters, no notice, no warning, nothing. It's just you've been served the complaint alleges his winery failed to follow ADA guidelines on its website. There no damages being asked from this case it's simply a legal fees and he is not alone.


    As soon as we were made aware of this we've raced to make our website compliant more than 50 businesses in Colorado have been hit with similar lawsuits from the same law firm alleging their websites are not compliant with ADA standards it's just an injustice this is really wrong. Business owners are telling Denver seven their issue is not with the guidelines but with what they see as an unfair application of the law most of us are going to comply and those that don't comply then sue them. I think that's the general frustration that small businesses face is what can we do we want to be accessible we want to be compliant now as mounting court dates and legal fees pile up on small family businesses in Colorado, let's take our resources and improve the industry.


    The owners say their time and money could be better spent fixing the problems. Sloan Dickey Denver 7.
