Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾
ADA accessibility claims split on outcome: Lowell v. Lyft and Billesdon show courts often narrow or dismiss claims lacking proof of effective remedy, while Holmes v. Bax shows ADA claims can survive summary judgment when factually supported. Small-facility ADA suits like this typically hinge on standing and mootness (cf. Burton v. Chase Point).
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. — shows plaintiffs bear burden to prove proposed accessibility modifications are reasonable/effective, a common failure point in ADA facility suits.
Main risk: Dismissal for lack of standing/mootness if defendant remediates barriers before ruling, as nearly occurred in Burton v. Chase Point.
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$250K
Small, heterogeneous comparable set; no defendant-specific history; ADA Title III typically yields injunctive relief not per-member damages, so estimate is highly uncertain. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts
