| Hachette Boardgames USA Inc.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-08365 · 28:1331 Fed. Question · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Lowell v. Lyft shows plaintiffs bear burden to prove effective remedies and can lose on that ground, while Holmes v. Bax shows ADA claims often survive summary judgment when paired with due-process/statutory claims. Single-defendant website/product accessibility suits in SDNY typically survive early motions but face reasonableness/mootness fights later (Burton). 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.) — controls SDNY-adjacent ADA reasoning; plaintiff must prove proposed accessibility fix is effective, a frequent failure point for solo ADA filers. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead an effective, reasonable modification, as in Lowell v. Lyft, or mootness if defendant remediates website pre-judgment (Burton). Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$100K Small, heterogeneous comparable set; no defendant-specific history; class size and per-member figures are speculative given lack of direct web/class data. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-25 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
