Legal Technology Alert: ADA Website Accessibility Lawsuits are on the Rise

It is important for all health care providers to ensure that their websites are fully accessible to persons with visual impairments or other similar disabilities.

The best practice for health care providers to follow is to have IT professionals conduct a comprehensive website audit, guided by counsel to preserve confidentiality.   

In order to avoid litigation, practices should review their websites for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”).
