Why Louisville businesses need ADA website compliance
Every business in Louisville, Kentucky that serves the public online is subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). There is no small business exemption - a solo practitioner, a local restaurant, and a regional hospital all face the same federal requirements.
In 2025, over 4,000 federal ADA website lawsuits were filed and an estimated 35,000-50,000 demand letters were sent. Serial plaintiff firms use automated tools to scan websites by the thousands - they target businesses in every city, including Louisville.
KRS Chapter 344 prohibits disability discrimination in public accommodations.
