Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾
Comparable privacy rulings split evenly: Doe v. Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks survived/remanded on factual disputes, while Integris and LabCorp saw claims dismissed or left unclear on procedural grounds. No wiretap-specific ruling directly mirrors Trans Union's likely tracking-technology theory, so outcome remains fact-dependent.

Per member (realized): ~$30 median · $29–$30 (n=2)
Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M
Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. is most relevant — court allowed confidentiality claims from tracking-tech disclosures to survive, suggesting similar viability for data-sharing/wiretap theories against Trans Union.
Main risk: Federal officer removal and jurisdictional dismissals (as in Integris) or narrow statutory readings (as in LabCorp) could truncate claims early.
This defendant: Trans Union faces frequent FCRA/FDCPA suits, showing chronic regulatory exposure but no direct wiretap precedent yet.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $20M–$700M
Small, heterogeneous comparable set mixes health-privacy and biometric cases; true wiretap-specific data for Trans Union is sparse, so range is wide and speculative. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts
