An interesting article on Dykema’s Food and Beverage Law Blog from Phil Slinkard and Nicholas Monaghan who are Corporate Attorneys at Dykema, Cox Smith on the increasing amount website accessibility litigation.
The legal landscape is uneven because most of the cases have been settled before a court can render an opinion. Despite that Mr. Slinkard and Mr. Monaghan state:
…any commercial enterprises that interact with the public through their websites should assess their accessibility with an expert in the matter, or at a minimum, with its IT managers to determine whether changes can be made to reduce the threat of litigation or an enforcement action.
