Lyft (2d Cir.) affirmed dismissal of ADA claims where plaintiffs failed to prove effective modification, a real risk for accessibility theories; Billesdon shows accommodation claims often reversed on appeal, while Holmes affirmed ADA claims, showing outcomes split by facts 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 is most relevant: SDNY-adjacent ADA accessibility claim dismissed because plaintiff bore burden of proving proposed fix was 'effective' — a common failure point in accessibility suits. Main risk: Plaintiff fails to plead/prove an effective, reasonable accommodation exists, as in Lowell v. Lyft's affirmed dismissal. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$250K No prior Wolverine-specific records; small, heterogeneous comparable set mixes individual and organizational disputes, limiting precision on class size and per-member recovery. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-25 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
