| Fabula Holdings, Inc.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · Judge Ronnie Abrams · No. 1:26-cv-08267 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Comparable rulings split: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal of ADA claims for failure to prove effective modification, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations at summary judgment; Billesdon shows failure-to-accommodate claims often reversed. Outcome likely turns on specificity of alleged barrier and remedy sought. 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.) — same circuit, shows ADA accessibility claims dismissed absent proof that requested modification is effective/reasonable. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead a concrete, provable barrier or effective remedy, per Lowell v. Lyft reasoning. This defendant: Prior filing (Thomas v. Fabula Holdings) on same ADA theory suggests recurring accessibility exposure or serial-filer targeting. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $1K–$500K Small, ambiguous defendant identity and lack of normalized per-member settlement data make this estimate highly speculative. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-22 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
