2019 Was Another Record-Breaking Year for Federal ADA Title III Lawsuits

The ADA Title III federal lawsuit numbers in 2019 topped 11,000 for another all-time record.

"Plaintiffs filed at least 11,053 ADA Title III lawsuits in federal court in 2019 — 890 (or 8.8%) more than in 2018. This is the highest number since we started tracking these lawsuits in 2013, when there were only 2,722 such lawsuits. These numbers include Title III lawsuits filed on all grounds — physical facilities, websites and mobile applications, service animals, sign language interpreters, and more. These numbers do not include the significant number of disability access lawsuits filed in state courts which are much more difficult to accurately track."
