Case comparables ▾
ADA claims survived in Holmes v. Bax and Price v. Diab, but both turned on fee-shifting/injunctive nuances rather than damages; no on-point web-accessibility ruling exists for a retailer like Empava.
Key precedent: Price v. Diab — confirms ADA plaintiffs can recover attorney's fees as prevailing parties even via default judgment, framing likely relief sought here.
Main risk: Title III ADA claims allow only injunctive relief/fees, not damages, capping recovery regardless of class size (per Price v. Diab).
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$125K
