Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This blog post discusses the potential legal liabilities web developers can be responsible for because of website accessibility. While the ADA doesn't hold developers liable, California's Unruh Act could potentially allow for such lawsuits, though proving intentional misconduct will be challenging. The post also highlights Assembly Bill 1757, which could make it unlawful for developers to knowingly create inaccessible websites, opening the door for lawsuits from clients and their customers.
