Why should you care about the Unruh Civil Rights Act?
California accounts for 42% of all ADA litigation in the United States. In 1992, the Unruh Civil Rights Act was amended to include any violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As a result, any business that violates the ADA also violates the Unruh Act.
Unlike the ADA Title III, which only applies to websites that have a physical location, the Unruh Act expressly applies to all businesses, including those that are digital-only.
In addition, the Unruh Civil Rights Act allows plaintiffs in disabilities access lawsuits to claim monetary damages. Plaintiffs can claim up to three times the amount of damages, plus attorneys’ fees for each access violation.
