Lyft shows ADA website/access claims often dismissed absent proof of an effective, reasonable modification; Price v. Diab shows plaintiffs winning default/injunctive relief can still recover fees. Small settlement sample ($0.1M-$0.5M) suggests modest but real settlement risk for accessibility claims against smaller retailers. 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.) - affirmed dismissal because plaintiff failed to prove reasonableness/effectiveness of accommodation, a common defense for small-business ADA suits. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to show a specific, reasonable, effective accommodation, as in Lowell v. Lyft. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$150K No prior records for this defendant; small comparable sample and lack of class-size data make this a low-confidence estimate. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-12 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
