In recent years, plaintiffs' attorneys have found that
filing website accessibility cases can be a lucrative business
model. By doing a quick scan of a website and then copying and
pasting from other complaints, these attorneys can file a complaint
with minimal effort. Because the legal requirements in this area
are murky and settling is cheaper than litigating, these attorneys
can often get a quick settlement. As a result, there have been
thousands of these lawsuits, many of which have been filed in
Florida.
