Comparable settlements $51.75M–$725M ▾
Comparable privacy rulings split: Bayhealth's confidentiality claim survived while Santoro's Meta Pixel claim was dismissed, and Gunnar Optiks was vacated for further factual development, showing outcome hinges heavily on specific tracking mechanics alleged against Walmart.
Comparable settlements $51.75M–$725M median $63.75M · n=10
Meta $725M · Google LLC $135M · Google $68M
Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2)
Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M
Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — survived because provider owed duty of confidentiality; suggests specificity of data-sharing allegations is decisive.
Main risk: Dismissal like Santoro v. Tower Health if plaintiffs can't show individually-identifiable data sharing beyond generic pixel/tracking use.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $33.75M–$472.50M
Small comparable sample, no Walmart-specific precedent, and class size/per-member figures are highly speculative absent case details. · grounded in 8 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts
