[blindLaw] Accessibility law firm lawsuits resources

[Max Smith]

Hello everyone,

I'm curious if anyone is aware of any instances where charges have been brought against law firms that hire visually impaired or disabled individuals to identify inaccessible websites. These individuals are subsequently utilized to initiate lawsuits against businesses or companies that are considered inaccessible. The testers are compensated when the law firm settles the lawsuits. Essentially, this could be perceived as a form of extortion.

If anyone has a source they could point me to, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to delve deeper into this topic.
