Diab), where the claim itself was affirmed but fee entitlement was reversed, showing courts split on remedy scope. No settlement or verdict data exists for ADA accessibility suits against universities, limiting predictive strength. Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) — confirms ADA accessibility claims can succeed even on default judgment, but attorney-fee recovery is not automatic. Main risk: Title III of the ADA provides no compensatory damages, so recovery may be limited to injunctive relief and fees as in Price v. Diab. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$550K Small, indirect comparable set; ADA accessibility suits rarely yield per-member monetary recovery, so estimate is highly speculative. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | N.D.
