State Website Accessibility Checkers
Each checker runs the same free WCAG scan, with the state laws and lawsuit trends that apply there.
- State law checker California Website Accessibility Checker Scan your website against WCAG before a California plaintiff’s attorney does. The Unruh Act carries $4,000 in statutory damages per violation, with no need to prove actual harm.
- State law checker New York Website Accessibility Checker Scan your website against WCAG before a New York plaintiff’s attorney does. New York consistently files more federal website accessibility lawsuits than any other state.
- State law checker Florida Website Accessibility Checker Scan your website against WCAG before a Florida plaintiff’s attorney does. Florida federal filings rose sharply in 2025 and now rank among the highest in the country.
How State Website Accessibility Laws Work
The Americans with Disabilities Act applies across the United States, and the Department of Justice has published guidance on web accessibility and the ADA. Some states add their own civil rights laws on top, which can change where lawsuits are filed and what damages are available. Each state page explains the laws that apply and links to the primary sources. This is general information, not legal advice.

Scan a Page, Then Monitor and Fix
