Case comparables ▾
Price v. Diab shows 9th Cir. supports fee-shifting for plaintiffs winning ADA default judgments, favoring early settlement; but sample is thin and one comparable (ECOA/OLC) is irrelevant to ADA merits.
Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) — confirms prevailing ADA plaintiffs recover attorney's fees, raising defendant's settlement pressure even absent merits ruling.
Main risk: Lack of on-point merits rulings; case could be dismissed for mootness if defendant remediates access barrier quickly, as often occurs in ADA website suits.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$15K
