| Bridgestone Americas, Inc.source ↗ filed by Mendez Law Offices, PLLC · Judge Rodolfo Armando Ruiz II · No. 1:26-cv-26690 · 42:12182 Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾ADA Title III suits split on outcome: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal because plaintiff failed to prove effective modification, while Price v. Diab shows courts award fees/injunctive relief once liability is established. No Bridgestone-specific precedent exists, adding uncertainty. 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.) - shows plaintiffs bear burden of proving reasonable modification, a key risk for accessibility claims against retailers like Bridgestone. Main risk: Plaintiff may fail to show proposed accessibility fix is 'reasonable/effective,' as in Lowell v. Lyft, leading to dismissal. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $25K–$500K Small, heterogeneous comparable set; ADA Title III rarely proceeds as a true class action, limiting reliability of per-member scaling. · grounded in 7 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.
