Merkl · No. 1:26-cv-05476 · 42:1201 Civil Rights (Disability) · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Comparable rulings split roughly evenly: Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations while Lowell v. Lyft (2d Cir., controlling here) affirmed dismissal for failure to show effective modification. Billesdon shows ADA failure-to-accommodate claims often reversed on insufficient evidence, signaling merits risk beyond pleading stage. Comparable settlements $65K–$530K median $200K · n=3 Covenant Retiremen $530K · Association of Apa $200K · Home Depot U.S.A., $65K Key precedent: Lowell v. Lyft, Inc. (2d Cir.) — controlling circuit precedent affirming dismissal where plaintiff can't prove proposed accessibility fix is reasonable/effective. Main risk: Failure to plead/prove an effective, reasonable accommodation, as in Lowell v. Lyft, leading to dismissal at pleading or summary judgment stage. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$250K Defendant identity ambiguous from web signals (multiple unrelated 'Blue Corner' entities), undermining class-size and revenue-based inference; treat estimates as rough bounds only. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | E.D.N.Y | 2026-09-03 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
