Precedent ADA Case

The complaint alleged the AudioEye customer's website contained multiple accessibility issues in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). AudioEye demonstrated to the court and plaintiff that Babylon Marine did not have any issue which would prevent people with disabilities from using the website. The case was dismissed for no monetary settlement or other relief in a first of its kind case.

Results

AudioEye's unique combination of AI-based technology coupled with industry experts in accessibility compliance facilitated the dismissal of this lawsuit.

The dismissal of the case against Babylon Marine without a settlement is a significant achievement. In the vast majority of website accessibility lawsuits, companies pay legal fees, settle, and then fix their websites. This underscores the importance of choosing the right accessibility partner, like AudioEye, which offers a comprehensive approach that helps your site reduce legal risk. Unlike others that rely only on automation—leaving companies vulnerable—AudioEye combines automation with expert support from accessibility and legal specialists to ensure ongoing compliance.
