Settlement Summary

Fashion Nova, a major online fashion retailer, has agreed to a $5.15 million settlement over allegations that its website was not accessible to legally blind individuals. The lawsuit claimed that individuals who utilized screen reading software could not fully access or navigate the website, violating the rights of the visually impaired to an equitable online retail experience. This case holds significance as it addresses the issue of digital accessibility, a frequently overlooked aspect of civil rights in the rapidly advancing tech era. The settlement, while encompassing all legally blind US individuals who attempted to access Fashion Nova's website with screen reading software, specifically offers monetary reparation to California residents. This is due to the settlement's reliance on California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, which provides for damages up to $4,000 per violation for disability-based discrimination, including inaccessible public accommodations like websites. This settlement not only brings attention to the importance of digital accessibility but also highlights the need for effective legislation to ensure equal access to digital resources across the nation. Moving forward, under the terms of the settlement, Fashion Nova has agreed to make necessary changes to their website to enhance accessibility for legally blind individuals.
