What the Winn-Dixie Case & Other Important Rulings Mean for the Future of Web Accessibility Under the ADA

FREE WEBINAR: Tuesday, September 12th at 2pm ET

The Florida Federal District Court recently ruled that Winn-Dixie's website violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and mandated that the company adopt a website accessibility policy that conforms to WCAG 2.0 criteria. In this webinar, nationally-recognized disability attorney Bobby Silverstein will discuss the impact of this groundbreaking ruling and other important decisions.

On June 13, 2017, the Florida Federal District Court ruled that grocery store chain Winn-Dixie had violated Title III of the ADA for denying blind users “full and equal enjoyment” of the Winn-Dixie website. The case was brought forth by a blind man who was unable to download coupons, order prescriptions, or find store locations through his screenreader. 

The court mandated Winn-Dixie had to adopt a Web Accessibility Policy ensuring the website conformed with WCAG 2.0 criteria. 

As the digital age continues to bring new challenges for accessibility, this groundbreaking ruling is shining a light on the need for corporate web accessibility. 

This webinar will be presented by Bobby Silverstein, a nationally-recognized disability attorney and one of the architects of the ADA. In this webinar, Bobby will take us through this and other historical rulings and the impact they have for corporate entities.
