Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M ▾
TCPA rulings are split — Howard, Perrong, and Hulce affirmed dismissals narrowing 'prerecorded voice' and 'telephone solicitation' definitions, while League of Women Voters v. Kramer let a robocall claim survive on adequate injury/consent allegations. Georgia-Pacific is an industrial manufacturer, not a mass-marketing consumer business, suggesting a smaller, fact-specific calling program.
Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10
Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M
Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4)
Comparable verdict: Dish Network, L.L.C. $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M
Key precedent: Hulce v. Zipongo — 7th Cir. affirmed summary judgment where calls/texts were not 'telephone solicitations'; similar defense likely if GP's texts were operational/informational, not marketing.
Main risk: Dismissal risk high if calls/texts were non-marketing (like Hulce) or lacked artificial-voice trigger (like Howard); industrial defendant likely has narrow calling footprint.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$250K
No case-specific facts on calling volume, consent, or class definition; defendant profile suggests atypical small-scale TCPA exposure vs. comparables. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts
