Lawsuits and cost

What industries get sued most often for ADA website violations?

E-commerce and retail dominate: EcomBack put them at roughly 69% of 2025 digital accessibility lawsuits, followed by food and beverage at about 21%. Entertainment (~2.5%), travel and hospitality (~1.8%), and banking and finance (~1.5%) make up most of the remainder. E-commerce exposure is structural — when the entire transaction happens online, a plaintiff firm can document a checkout or search barrier in minutes without visiting a location. Note that government entities do not appear in these counts at all: they fall under ADA Title II, where the binding April 2027 and 2028 deadlines drive risk rather than private filings.
