THE LITIGATION SYSTEM
Accessibility litigation is systematic, concentrated, and repeatable.
A small group of plaintiff firms drives most cases, previously sued companies are targeted again, and accessibility widgets do not remove underlying code-level defects.
5,000+
Digital accessibility lawsuits reviewed in federal and selected state courts in 2025.
UsableNet · 2025 Year-End Report90.35%
of 3,948 tracked website cases were filed by just 16 plaintiff firms.
EcomBack · 2025 Annual Report45%
of federal cases targeted companies that had already been sued.

of tracked website cases involved sites already using an accessibility widget.

LIVE RISK INTELLIGENCE
What Evolize is finding across the public web.
Evolize inspects public websites for reproducible accessibility risks. These figures reflect completed production scans—not demonstration data.

CONTINUOUS MONITORING
Your website changes. Its exposure changes with it.
A scan captures one moment. Evolize monitors later releases, content updates, scripts, and third-party changes for newly introduced or recurring issues.
Website change detected
Illustrative sequence. Demonstration data.
A previously captured checkout shows a labelled edit-address control and pricing disclosure before purchase. After a checkout release, the edit control becomes icon-only and the disclosure moves below the purchase button. Evolize detects both findings six minutes later and verifies the fix the next day.

BUSINESS IMPACT
The claim amount is only the visible cost.
Once a claim arrives, the same defect also creates legal response, engineering interruption, urgent remediation, management attention, and continuing obligations.
