Boston 25 News: Small Businesses Caught in Surge of ADA Website Lawsuits
On February 25, 2026, Boston 25 News featured commentary from Brann & Isaacson attorney Peter Brann in an investigative report examining the rise in ADA website accessibility lawsuits targeting businesses nationwide.
The report highlights a growing number of “sue and settle” cases alleging that company websites are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. As noted in the segment, many businesses, particularly small businesses, face significant legal and financial pressure to resolve these claims quickly.
Brann, who represents businesses in ADA matters, notes that plaintiffs cannot recover damages under the ADA, but may recover attorneys’ fees if they are successful. He explains that this structure has contributed to a high volume of claims in recent years.
