| Avis Rent A Car System, LLCsource ↗ filed by Sotiriou Wilmowski, LLC · Judge Stephen R. Welby · No. 4:26-cv-01360 · 28:1441 Petition for Removal- Personal Injury · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M ▾Comparable privacy rulings split: Doe v. Bayhealth survived on confidentiality duty and Gunnar Optiks was revived on remand, but Integris saw state claims left unclear and LabCorp's fraud theory was rejected on materiality grounds. No wiretap-specific ruling directly controls Avis's facts. Comparable settlements $47.50M–$725M median $63.75M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google LLC $135M · Google $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 duty-based privacy theory (tracking tech disclosure), closest analog to a wiretap/interception claim against a service provider. Main risk: Dismissal on standing/consent grounds or narrow statutory reading, as in LabCorp's rejected fraud-omission theory and Integris's unresolved state-law claims. This defendant: Avis has prior data-breach settlement and a vacated false-advertising ruling, suggesting recurring consumer-protection exposure but no wiretap-specific pattern. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5M–$55M Small, heterogeneous comparable set (n=2 realized settlements) and no Avis-specific wiretap facts; figures are order-of-magnitude estimates only. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | E.D.
