| Meridian Waste Missouri, LLCsource ↗ filed by HERRING AND ROOT LLC · Judge Joseph S. Dueker · No. 4:26-cv-01334 · 42:1981 Job Discrimination (Race) · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾Comparable privacy rulings split: Bayhealth survived a confidentiality claim while LabCorp and Integris saw claims dismissed or narrowed on technical grounds; wiretap claims against a regional utility lack a close factual analog to the big-tech settlements cited. Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M median $59.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google Assistant $68M · Google LLC and Alp $68M 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. — survived MTD on confidentiality duty, closest fact pattern to a service-provider privacy claim like Meridian's. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead actionable interception/consent elements, as in LabCorp's narrow statutory reading Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $72K–$750K Small, heterogeneous comparable set (tech giants vs. regional utility) and no defendant history make this a low-confidence, wide-range estimate. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | E.D.
