A $40,000 Wake-Up Call for Small Businesses

Most business owners don’t realize this—but your website can get you sued.

Kramer Knives, a small custom knife maker in Washington, learned this the hard way. Their website wasn’t fully accessible for people with disabilities. A law firm found it, filed a claim, and the company ended up spending nearly $40,000 in legal fees and development fixes.

They didn’t do anything malicious.
They didn’t ignore customers.
They simply didn’t know the law applied to them.

But the ADA does apply to websites, and thousands of small businesses are being targeted every year—often by the same firms filing hundreds of automated claims.

How It Would Have Been Different With Digital Accessibility Protection™

If Kramer Knives had Digital Accessibility Protection, the entire situation would have been different from the first email.

Instead of scrambling to find an attorney, paying thousands upfront, and hiring developers to fix issues under pressure, they would have had:

1. Legal defense included

The moment a claim arrived, an attorney would respond on their behalf. No panic. No guessing. No $400/hour bills.

2. Developer remediation included

Accessibility issues found in the complaint would be repaired for them. No hunting for specialists. No extra invoices.

3. Predictable cost instead of a financial hit

Instead of a $40,000 surprise, they’d pay a simple, affordable fee for ongoing Digital Accessibility Protection.

4. Protection going forward

Once you’re sued once, you’re more likely to be targeted again.
Digital Accessibility Protection shuts that door.

The Lesson for Business Owners

If you run a business, you’re probably focused on customers, operations, and growth—not legal traps hidden in your website.

But accessibility lawsuits are real, they’re growing, and they’re hitting small businesses the hardest.

Kramer Knives didn’t know.
Most businesses don’t.
But ignorance doesn’t stop a lawsuit.

Digital Accessibility Protection exists so you don’t have to face what they did—alone, unprepared, and thousands of dollars poorer.
