Your dental company could be exposed to fines and/or lawsuits that could cost thousands of dollars. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is being understood to include a business’s website as “places of public accommodation”. This includes your business's website presence. It might not be your purpose but if your website has inaccessible components to it you may be exposing your company to lawsuits and fines. Individuals with disabilities can view this is discriminatory against people like them and other people with disabilities and based on that interpretation your website could be in violation of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities(ADA)Act.
The
evidence is in and dental companies of all sizes , even
those with less than 15
workers are experiencing
fines in record cases. For
dental businesses specifically,
your web presence will have to
be ADA compliant and usable. Website
accessibility could be interpreted to mean that your
websites features are
usable with remediation to those with
hardships. This makes your website easy to use and can also
offer more sales for
your business.
As we move into the future and beyond it will be critical to have a written statement in place to ensure your website ADA Act compliant. No dental company wants to get that dreaded legal letter in the mail. Especially, since there are many offerings available for your company’s website. ADA website compliance lawsuits are currently being issued against many businesses to include dental offices. The answer is to have a superior business work with you to reduce that legal heartburn.
