| The Michaels Organization, LLCsource ↗ filed by The McKee Law Group · No. 8:26-cv-02958 · 28:1331 Fed. Question: Personal Injury · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾Comparable rulings split roughly evenly: Doe v. Bayhealth and Clements v. Gunnar Optiks allowed privacy/tracking claims to proceed, while Santoro v. Tower Health and Cisneros v. Nuance resulted in dismissal on statutory exclusion or delay grounds. Outcome likely turns on specific tracking technology used and applicable state wiretap statute's exceptions. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $81.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Google LLC $135M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. matters most — survived MTD by recognizing a confidentiality duty for tracking-tech disclosures, a template plaintiffs may use here. Main risk: Dismissal via statutory exclusion or standing failure, as in Cisneros (BIPA GLBA exemption) and Santoro (Meta Pixel claim dismissed). This defendant: Two prior privacy/wiretap filings (Gilbert, Patterson) suggest repeat exposure and possible systemic tracking-tech practice. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $300K–$8M Small sample (n=2) for per-member benchmark and no direct Michaels settlement data; class size is inferred from company scale, not confirmed filings. · grounded in 8 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | M.D. Fla. | 2026-09-25 | $59.50M–$725M comparable settlements |
