Leibowitz · No. 1:26-cv-26201 · 42:12182 Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Only Lowell v. Lyft is squarely ADA-based and it affirmed dismissal, showing courts require plaintiffs to prove remedy effectiveness. Other comparables (ECOA, Wells Fargo, Chase Point) are only tangentially instructive on ADA accessibility pleading standards. 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 (2d Cir.) - shows courts scrutinize whether proposed accessibility fixes are reasonable/effective, a hurdle plaintiffs often fail at pleading or summary judgment. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead a concrete, effective remedial modification, as in Lowell v. Lyft, or mootness if defendant remediates barriers pre-judgment (Burton v. Chase Point). Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $100K–$500K Small, mostly off-topic comparable set (5 of 6 rulings not true ADA accessibility cases); true class size and damages model uncertain since ADA Title III lacks damages remedy. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.
