Some commonly asked questions:
What is the ADA?
The Americans with Disabilities Act, passed in 1990 was originally for physical accommodations – some examples include ramps, designated parking, etc. Since then, the law has evolved through different iterations to include many websites.
What qualifies as a disability under the ADA?
The ADA has a legal definition of a disability as opposed to a medical one. A person with a disability is defined under the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. The ADA also makes it unlawful to discriminate against those who have had the disability in the past, those who are regarded as having a disability (even if they do not have one), and those who are associated with a person with a disability.
I’m in "X" state what do I have to do?
ADA compliance legislation effects all states. Additionally, businesses located in all but 12 states have been served with website-related lawsuits and threats of suits, paying anywhere from $10,000 to over $90,000 to resolve the claims.

Can I just wait to get sued?
You could, but would you own and operate a physical building waiting to get sued? It might be that you are breaking the law if you don't make steps to make your website accessible, and breaking the law and saving money now might cost you a lot more in the long run. Developers are cheaper than lawyers.
