According to UsableNet's tracking, 46% of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) website accessibility cases filed in federal court in 2025 involved a defendant who had already been sued. Across every state and federal filing combined, more than 5,000 lawsuits were filed that year, and 1,427 of them, over a quarter, targeted a company with a prior accessibility claim already on record.

A settlement resolves one complaint. A tool configured once addresses a site as it existed when it was set up. Neither adapts as the site keeps changing underneath it, and that gap, the space between a fix and everything that happens after it, is where a second lawsuit comes from. Closing it takes more than any single layer of work: support on the live site as it changes day to day, checks built into the development pipeline before a feature ships, and expert review for what automation can't see on its own. That's the shape of a program built to hold up over time, not just when a complaint gets resolved, and it's the throughline for everything below.
