| Equitable Holdings, Inc.source ↗ filed by Levi & Korsinsky, LLP · Judge Todd Wallace Robinson · No. 3:26-cv-05522 · 18:2511 Wiretapping - Injunctive Relief or Civil Fine · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾Privacy/wiretap claims split sharply across comparables: Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks survived early dismissal, while Tower Health's Meta Pixel claim and Cisneros' biometric claim were dismissed outright, often on financial-institution or causation grounds relevant to an insurer like Equitable. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $81.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Google $135M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Key precedent: Cisneros v. Nuance Communications matters most — dismissal turned on a GLBA financial-institution exemption, a defense Equitable Holdings (an insurance/financial holding company) could plausibly invoke. Main risk: Financial-institution/GLBA exemption (as in Cisneros) could bar the claim entirely before reaching damages phase Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2.40M–$54M No prior litigation history for this defendant; class size is an inference from customer base, not case-specific discovery. · grounded in 9 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | S.D.
