| Brillant Scents LLCsource ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-06866 · 28:1331 Fed. Question · view case timeline → Case comparables ▾Price v. Diab confirms ADA plaintiffs who secure default judgment/injunction can be 'prevailing parties' entitled to fees, favoring plaintiff-side leverage even without damages. But ADA Title III bars compensatory damages, capping monetary exposure to fees and injunctive compliance costs only. Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) - establishes fee entitlement even on default judgment, key leverage point for small-business ADA defendants like Brillant Scents. Main risk: No federal damages under ADA Title III; case value largely limited to injunctive relief plus plaintiff's attorney fees under §12205. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$20K Single defendant-specific precedent absent; only two loosely relevant rulings exist; true settlement data for this theory is sparse, estimate is directional only. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-08-11 | $5K–$20K rough EV |
