Bax and Price v. Diab favored ADA plaintiffs, while Lowell v. Lyft and Billesdon affirmed dismissal of ADA claims. Small single-location defendant suggests a routine accessibility 'tester' suit typical in C.D. Cal. 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.) — dismissal affirmed where plaintiff failed to show requested modification was reasonable/effective, a common defense for small retailers. Main risk: Plaintiff fails to plead a plausible barrier or standing (as in Lowell), leading to early dismissal without reaching damages. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$15K No class certification typical in ADA Title III; figures reflect single-plaintiff statutory (Unruh) + fee exposure, not a class-wide payout; web signals don't confirm defendant identity/size. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | C.D.
