Digital accessibility lawsuitsApril 2026
Federal website accessibility filings fell 23% in April 2026 to 250 cases, but nearly all came from plaintiffs who had sued before.
Counts cover all 250 filings, and the percentages come from an in-depth review of 149 of them.
Equal Access Law Group PLLC filed 66% of all complaints, up from 51% in March and more than ten times the share of any other firm.
99% of complaints were brought by plaintiffs with at least one earlier case in the archive, up from 82% in March.
WCAG 2.2 was named in 70% of complaints, up from 56% in March and now five times as common as WCAG 2.1.
Nelson Fernandez, with 113 earlier cases in the archive, was among this month's plaintiffs, the highest repeat count.
45 defendants had already been sued in an earlier case, demonstrating that one complaint does not end a company's exposure.
