MITIGATE LEGAL ISSUES

Lawsuits are Expensive!

Many companies have received lawsuits and demand letters due to their websites and PDFs not being compliant in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Department of Justice has backed many of these lawsuits. It is extremely expensive to hire attorneys and pay associated fees and costs; this is only to defend your business. There are many additional related costs, such as, human capital, unwanted negative PR, and stress on your overall business.

You must be proactive to potentially avoid spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, along with the cost of reputational damage perpetuated via traditional and social media. ADA Site Compliance can help you mitigate website and PDF compliance issues and provide a new revenue stream and significant goodwill.
