Commitment
ClaimCalc.app aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines are the international standard for accessible web content and are referenced in the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the EU Web Accessibility Directive.
What we do
- Semantic HTML. Every page uses correct heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3), landmark elements, and ARIA roles where appropriate.
- Keyboard navigation. All calculators, forms, and interactive elements are operable with keyboard alone (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape, arrow keys).
- Color contrast. Text and UI elements meet or exceed WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
- Form labels. Every form input has an associated
<label>element. Errors are announced viaaria-liveregions. - Resizable text. Content remains readable and functional when text size is increased up to 200% in browser settings.
- Skip links. A "Skip to main content" link is the first focusable element on every page.
- No flashing content. No animations or media that flash more than three times per second.
- Reduced motion. CSS transitions respect
prefers-reduced-motion.
Known limitations
We test on screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA), keyboard-only navigation, and at 200% zoom on each release. Despite our efforts, some areas may have known gaps:
- Complex data tables (workers comp settlement chart) include captions but may be challenging to navigate row-by-row with some screen readers.
- Embedded charts and figures are decorative — all underlying data is presented in adjacent text or table form.
- External links (state Workers Compensation Boards, IRS, NHTSA, etc.) open in new tabs but the destination pages are not under our control.
If you encounter a barrier that prevents you from using ClaimCalc.app, we want to fix it. Please report it (contact below).

Technical specifications
Accessibility of ClaimCalc.app relies on these technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technology installed on your computer:
- HTML5
- CSS3 (with
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query support) - JavaScript (calculators run client-side; the site remains readable without JS)
- WAI-ARIA where native HTML semantics are insufficient
Tested with: Safari + VoiceOver (macOS, iOS), Chrome + NVDA (Windows), Firefox keyboard-only navigation, and 200% browser zoom.
