New York ADA Lawsuit Tracker

Most ADA lawsuits in New York are filed by a small number of plaintiff’s law firms, often dozens a month, against businesses of every size. This tracker lists those cases by firm, from the public court records, so you can see who sued you, how often that firm files, and what other businesses it has sued.

Click a firm’s name to see every case it has filed, newest first, with the court and the docket or index number. Where we have written a guide to that firm, the “What to do” link takes you to it.

• Federal court. ADA cases filed in the federal courts in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Albany and Buffalo (the Southern, Eastern, Northern and Western Districts of New York) since late 2024.
• State court. ADA cases filed in New York State Supreme Court since July 2026, mostly in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn.
• The firm. Each case is matched to the plaintiff’s law firm named on the court record. Some federal dockets don’t name the firm yet; those cases are counted in the total but not listed by firm.
• Timing. New cases usually appear within a day or two of filing.

Every listing is a public court filing. A case on this list means a lawsuit was filed, not that a court has found that the business did anything wrong.
