MIAMI - TelAve -- As ADA website accessibility claims continue to rise, many businesses are asking a critical question: What evidence is actually used against them in these cases? According to Get ADA Alert, accessibility claims are built on documented proof not assumptions showing that users with disabilities could not independently access key website functions.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), businesses that serve the public are expected to provide equal access, including across digital platforms. When barriers prevent users from completing essential actions, those barriers often become the foundation of legal complaints.

One of the most common forms of evidence is user testing with assistive technologies. Plaintiffs may demonstrate how screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or other adaptive tools fail to interact properly with a website. Recordings, screenshots, and detailed notes are frequently used to highlight inaccessible forms, broken navigation, or blocked purchase processes.

Automated accessibility scan reports are also widely referenced. These reports can identify measurable issues such as missing alternative text, poor color contrast, empty form labels, and improper heading structures. Although automated tools do not detect every issue, they often provide initial evidence of accessibility gaps.

In addition, manual audits and technical documentation may be presented to support claims. This can include code-level examples such as missing ARIA attributes, inaccessible menus, or scripts that prevent keyboard interaction. Courts may also evaluate whether similar issues appear across multiple pages, indicating a pattern rather than isolated errors.

To interpret these findings, many evaluations rely on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which serve as the widely recognized benchmark for digital accessibility. While WCAG is not a law, it is frequently referenced in accessibility assessments and legal discussions.

"Accessibility claims focus on demonstrable barriers," a spokesperson for Get ADA Alert explained. "The key question is whether users with disabilities can access the same information and complete the same actions as everyone else."
