Missouri rules to know
Missouri now gives businesses time to fix. A Missouri law signed in May 2026 and effective August 28, 2026 gives businesses 90 days to correct website accessibility problems after notice. If a business takes substantial good-faith steps to fix them, courts presume a lawsuit is probably abusive. (StateScoop) Ask a Missouri lawyer how it applies to your notice.
If your Missouri business got a letter or lawsuit
- Check whether it's a lawsuit. A summons with a case number has a hard deadline. In federal court a response is usually due 21 days after you're served. Missouri state courts set their own deadlines.
- Don't pay and don't call the other side yet. Call your business insurer, then a lawyer who handles ADA Title III website defense. Your state bar's lawyer referral service can help you find one.
- Find out what's actually wrong with your site, and keep dated proof of your fixes. Courts have dismissed cases when businesses showed the problems were already fixed.

How we count
Federal cases filed from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026 under nature of suit 446 (ADA, public accommodations) whose docket or documents in the free CourtListener archive mention a website. This is a minimum: the archive doesn't hold every federal filing, state-court suits aren't included, and demand letters that settle never reach a court. Being named in a lawsuit is an allegation, not a finding. Due Effort is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Data gathered October 17, 2026.
