Lyft affirmed dismissal of ADA claims where plaintiffs failed to prove proposed modifications were effective, a standard directly applicable in this S.D.N.Y. case. Conversely, Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations at summary judgment, showing courts will sustain well-pled accessibility claims through merits review. 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.) — binding circuit precedent on ADA reasonableness burden, most relevant given S.D.N.Y. venue. Main risk: Plaintiff bears burden of proving requested accommodation/modification is effective (Lowell v. Lyft); failure to do so risks dismissal. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $50K–$500K Defendant identity ambiguous across multiple unrelated 'ABC Holding' entities; class size and consumer base cannot be reliably confirmed from web signals. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-18 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
