| AMS Moving Inc.source ↗ filed by Lopez Law Group · Judge Ed Artau · No. 9:26-cv-80899 · 49:11707 Liability of Common Carriers · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $87.50M–$436M ▾False advertising/UDAP claims survive dismissal roughly half the time in comparable rulings (e.g., Dougherty UDTPA claim survived) but fail where plaintiffs can't show actionable deception beyond disclosure (Arterberry, Donboli). AMS Moving is a small regional carrier, unlike the national-brand comparables driving the large settlement figures. Comparable settlements $87.50M–$436M median $90M · n=10 Toyota Industries $436M · IM Mastery Academy $90M · Premier Nutrition $90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $20–$20 (n=1) Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · VPX, Inc. $293M Key precedent: Citizens of Humanity v. Donboli - affirmed dismissal for lack of probable cause in a 'Made in USA' labeling suit, showing false-advertising theories often fail absent concrete deception evidence. Main risk: Small class size and thin factual record could lead to early dismissal similar to Arterberry/Donboli outcomes for lack of concrete deceptive conduct. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$100K Comparables are largely unrelated theories (data breach, arbitration, wage law); small sample and lack of direct false-advertising precedent limit reliability. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 8 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | S.D.
