ADA web litigation in New York, in plain English
- Are ADA website lawsuits common in New York?
- Yes. New York is one of the most active federal jurisdictions for ADA website-accessibility lawsuits. New York, Florida, and California together account for over 70% of these filings nationwide. We track 159 federal filings in New York in our dataset.
- What kinds of businesses get sued in New York?
- Federal ADA website filings target restaurants and food service, retail and e-commerce, lifestyle and fashion brands, hospitality, healthcare, and small consumer brands. Sites with a physical location plus an online presence are the most common targets — the legal theory under Robles v. Domino's clearly applies.
- Can I be sued in New York if my business isn't located there?
- Yes. Federal courts have applied long-arm jurisdiction to website-accessibility cases when a business serves customers in the state. The question is whether your site is reachable from New York, not where you're headquartered.
- How do I check if my own site is at risk?
- Run the same axe-core scan plaintiff firms use. It's free, takes about 60 seconds, and shows roughly what a serial filer's automated tool would find on your site.
