At AJG LAW GROUP, PC, we are committed to protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities, including ensuring full access to websites and online services. Businesses have a legal obligation under federal and California law to provide equal access to their goods, services, and facilities, including their online platforms.
Your Rights
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and the California Disabled Persons Act (CDPA):
- Individuals with disabilities have the right to full and equal access to the goods and services offered by businesses.
- Websites and digital services must be accessible to all users, including those who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies.
- Businesses must remove barriers that prevent access and provide accommodations when needed.
- Denial of access, due to non-compliance with accessibility standards, may constitute a legal violation.
Common accessibility barriers that prevent equal access include:
- Confusing navigation or illogical page structure
- Flashing or high-contrast content that can trigger confusion or strain
- Improperly formatted documents (PDFs, Word files, etc.)
- Improper use of color or visual cues to convey information
- Inaccessible forms that do not provide guidance or error correction
- Missing text alternatives for images, videos, and interactive elements
- Non-keyboard-accessible content or navigation
These barriers can prevent individuals with visual, auditory, or other disabilities from using websites as effectively as other users.
