| Kuli Kuli, Inc.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-08330 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Second Circuit precedent (Lowell v. Lyft) shows courts in this circuit will dismiss ADA accessibility claims if plaintiff can't prove proposed modifications are effective, a real risk for a small e-commerce site. But Price v. Diab and Burton show courts favor plaintiffs on injunctive relief/prevailing-party issues once facts are pled. 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.) — controlling circuit precedent placing burden on plaintiff to prove effective remediation, directly applicable to a S.D.N.Y. ADA site-accessibility claim. Main risk: Dismissal on failure to plead/prove an effective accessible alternative, as in Lowell v. Lyft, especially given Kuli Kuli's small digital footprint. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $3K–$18K Tiny defendant with no direct accessibility comps; settlement/verdict data drawn from much larger companies, so figures are rough analogies, not precise anchors. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-24 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
