ADA Website Compliance in Georgia: What Local Businesses Must Know in 2025

Website accessibility lawsuits hit a record high in 2025 — and Georgia ranked in the national top 10. If your business website isn't accessible to people with disabilities, you could be at legal risk.

What Is ADA Website Compliance?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that websites be accessible to people with disabilities, including those who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies. The WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard is the benchmark courts use to evaluate compliance.

The 10 Most-Cited ADA Website Violations

• Missing alt text on images
• Poor color contrast
• Missing form labels
• Videos without captions
• Keyboard navigation failures
• Missing skip navigation links
• PDF inaccessibility
• Auto-playing media
• Missing document language declaration
• Inaccessible popups and modals

What a Lawsuit Costs

ADA website lawsuits typically settle for $25,000–$150,000+, plus legal fees. Many businesses face repeat litigation once they're identified as a target. Prevention costs a fraction of defense.
