Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾
Comparable privacy rulings split: Bayhealth confidentiality claim survived and Gunnar Optiks (BIPA) was revived on remand, but Integris shows state privacy claims often left 'unclear' after removal fights, and LabCorp/Olson are inapposite non-privacy dismissals inflating uncertainty.
Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M median $59.50M · n=10
Meta $725M · Google LLC and Alp $68M · Google $68M
Per member (realized): ~$30 median · $29–$30 (n=2)
Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M
Class (from complaint): All owners and lessees of 2015-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade vehicles with defective paint that peels
Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — confirms privacy/confidentiality claims against corporate defendants can survive MTD when duty-based theory is pled, supporting plausibility here.
Main risk: Class definition in filing describes a paint-defect class, not data/privacy harm — mismatch could doom Article III standing or theory coherence, similar to Integris removal/standing fights.
This defendant: Prior GM privacy filing (Bockelman-Phillips) suggests repeat exposure on connected-vehicle data practices.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $23.20M–$60M
Class definition (paint defect) conflicts with stated Privacy & Wiretap theory, undermining confidence in size/harm alignment; small comparable sample limits precision. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts
