| Bones Brands LLCsource ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · Judge Jennifer H. Rearden · No. 1:26-cv-08266 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Comparable rulings split sharply: Lowell v. Lyft (2d Cir.) affirmed dismissal for failure to prove effective modification, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations at summary judgment. Small-business defendant profile and lack of prior ADA history for Bones Brands adds uncertainty to outcome prediction. 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.) — same circuit, shows SDNY/2d Cir. courts require plaintiff to prove modification effectiveness, a common dismissal ground for accessibility suits. Main risk: Dismissal on effectiveness/standing grounds per Lowell v. Lyft, or mootness if defendant remediates site before ruling (per Burton v. Chase Point). Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$138K Comparables mix physical-access class settlements with unrelated ADA employment/rideshare rulings; small sample and defendant size mismatch limit precision. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-22 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
