Monthly report
Digital accessibility lawsuitsDecember 2025
170 federal disability-access cases were filed across 15 states, and the pattern is consistent: a small group of repeat plaintiffs, one law firm, and an online shop that could not be used.
Counts cover all 170 filings, and the percentages come from an in-depth review of 65 of them.
This is repeat litigation. 92% of the complaints we read were brought by someone who has sued over a website before. One of them, Nelson Fernandez, accounts for 112 earlier cases in our archive.
One firm dominates. Equal Access Law Group PLLC filed 65% of them.
The claim barely varies. Every complaint cited the ADA, nearly every one asked a court to order the site fixed, and 82% sought a nationwide class.
WCAG 2.2 is the yardstick. 69% of the complaints measured the site against WCAG 2.2, more than every other version put together.
Being sued once is not the end of it. 8 of this month’s defendants, or the websites they run, are already in our archive of 12,982 cases.
