Why the Risk Just Exploded
The Easiest Lawsuit to File
- Automated scans produce the evidence
- Binary WCAG pass/fail, not opinion
- Most cases settle before trial
- Fee-shifting means you pay both sides
Get Sued Once, Get Sued Again
- 46% of 2025 federal cases hit repeat defendants (UsableNet)
- 1,427 of 5,000+ 2025 suits targeted already-sued companies
- A settlement with plaintiff A doesn't bind plaintiff B
AI Makes Filing Nearly Free
- Automated scanners find violations at scale
- Seyfarth: ~40% of 2025 federal ADA Title III filings were pro se
- Demand-letter templates cost the filer almost nothing
Your Insurance Likely Won't Cover It
- General liability typically excludes ADA / privacy claims
- Cyber policies focus on data breaches, not compliance
- Check your policy — many owners find out too late
States Keep Adding New Laws
- CCPA / CPRA (California)
- CIPA wiretap claims over pixels & chat
- Colorado, Virginia, Texas, Oregon and more each year
Serial-Plaintiff Firms Are an Industry
- So Cal Equal Access Group filed 2,598 federal ADA Title III suits in 2024 (Seyfarth)
- Top 20 firms drove over 4,000 filings in 2024
- Demand letters are priced to force fast settlement
A Self-Reinforcing System
A cycle that gets easier and more profitable for filers every year. The trend line only goes one way.
Real Cases in the Last 24 Months
Aspen Dental
Meta Pixel & Google trackers on aspendental.com transmitted appointment-booking data.
Sephora
First public CCPA enforcement action — didn't honor Global Privacy Control opt-outs.
Fashion Nova
Class action over website accessibility barriers — largest recent web-accessibility settlement.
Every one of these started with a website nobody audited before a plaintiff's firm did. Small businesses see the same pattern at $5K–$25K demand letters, plus fee-shifting.

Coming: Site Vetted Agent Remediation
Every AI-visibility tool on the market points at what's broken. Site Vetted agents will draft the fix — and lock every draft with the SHA-256 hash of the audit that produced it. Your remediation output becomes a receipt that can be verified back to the finding, the audit, and the timestamp.
Five agents on the roadmap:
- Privacy Policy Agent — state-appropriate policy (CCPA, VCDPA, CPA) with audit hash in the footer
- ADA Statement Agent — WCAG level named, audit date and hash disclosed
- Tracker-Consent Agent — cookie banner + CMP config for the visitor's state, receipt-locked
- HIPAA NPP Agent — dental and medical clients only, versioned to the audit that prompted it
- Demand-Letter Response Agent — drop the letter in, get a response citing your audit findings and remediation timeline
Availability: After Site Vetted reaches 50 paying compliance customers. We're proving the audit itself before we build the agent that fixes what it finds. If you want to be first when it opens, join the waitlist — the beta gets access ahead of the public.
