Your dental company could be vulnerable 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 websites as “places of public accommodation”. This includes your company’s website. It may not be your goal but if your website has inaccessible components to it you could be exposing your livelihood to legal woes. People with disabilities can see this is discriminatory against them and other individuals with disabilities and based on that interpretation your business's website might be in violation of Title III of the Americans With Disabilities(ADA)Act.
The
facts are in and dentist
businesses of all groups, even
those that operate with less than 15
employees are experiencing
lawsuits in record time. For
dental businesses specifically,
your site will have to
be ADA compliant and usable. Website
accessibility means that your
websites functions are
usable with remediation to those with
handicaps. This means your website is easy to use and can also
offer more business for
your company.
As we look ahead and beyond it will be important to have a review process in place to help make your website ADA Act compliant. No dental company wants to be handed that dreaded legal document in the mail. Especially, since there are many solutions available for your company’s website. ADA website compliance legal services are currently being filed against many groups to include dental offices. The answer is to have a great company work with you to reduce that legal heartburn.
