Helping organizations respond to and prevent threats of accessibility website lawsuits, ADA demand letters, and drive-by website lawsuits.
Getting support for website lawsuits is a crucial part of doing business these days. WeCo offers defendants support in preventing and responding to lawsuits pertaining to ADA website compliance, WCAG compliance, and 508 accessibility compliance.
Are you fielding complaints about inaccessibility from your website’s users? Received an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) demand letter? We can help.
At Digital Accessibility by WeCo, website lawsuit reporting has been part of our work since our inception in 2011. In fact, our first user-testing product was successfully used in an Americans with Disabilities Act website case.

Before you install ADA widgets or overlays
As you research how to fight an ADA website lawsuit, you may see promotions for free ADA accessibility widgets and website overlay tools. While these may seem like quick and easy fixes, overlays do not remedy all WCAG requirements. As the saying goes, “Cheap, quick, good — choose 2.” Accessibility overlays and widgets are inexpensive and quick to install (usually), but they aren’t the best way to respond to or prevent a digital accessibility complaint or lawsuit.
On the side of defense: always
We work only on the side of defense in digital accessibility legal cases.
We have a trusted reputation for bringing the user perspective to website lawsuits through our legal due diligence documentation. That is why two major US law firms refer their clients to us. (References available upon request: [email protected] )
Experts and expert witnesses in website accessibility requirements
When court-ordered manual audits and usability tests are conducted by a team of digital experts who also live with disabilities, they carry more weight than results delivered by non-disabled professionals.
It also saves your organization time and money because you’re consulting users with disabilities at the start. No need to bring in a team to conduct a focus group, or search out members of the community with disabilities to verify your results. Everyone on the WeCo team is living with one or more disabilities (hearing, vision, physical, or cognitive).
