Dries · No. 2:26-cv-01726 · 28:1331 Federal Question: Other Civil Rights · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾ADA accessibility claims split in comparables: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal for failure to prove effective modification, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations at summary judgment. Price v. Diab shows fee-shifting complexity even after default judgment favors plaintiffs. 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.) matters most — plaintiff bears burden to show proposed accommodation is effective, a common failure point in ADA accessibility suits like this restaurant case. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead a concrete, effective architectural/service modification, as in Lowell v. Lyft. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $50K–$300K Single-defendant case with no prior record; small comparable sample and lack of class-action structure limit precision of estimates. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | E.D.
