Frequently Asked Questions
Can my small business really get targeted?
Yes. Small businesses are the primary target because they lack legal and technical teams to respond to inaccessibility claims.
As a result, many owners choose to resolve issues through settlements rather than incur the cost of legal defense and developer support.
If I fix my website, am I fully protected?
Not necessarily. Websites are constantly changing due to updates, new content, plugins, and redesigns.
These changes can unintentionally introduce new accessibility issues over time, even after initial fixes are made.
Does business insurance cover accessibility claims?
In most cases, no.
Standard business insurance policies typically do not include coverage for website accessibility claims or demand letters, leaving many businesses responsible for these costs directly.
