| Ford of Hialeah, LLCsource ↗ filed by Adams & Associates, P.A. · No. 1:26-cv-26781 · 42:12182 Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾ADA Title III accessibility suits split sharply on outcome: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal because plaintiffs failed to prove reasonable modification, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations at summary judgment. Single-dealership suits like this hinge heavily on specific barrier proof and standing. 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 to prove effective accommodation exists; dealership can defeat claim by showing compliance or lack of concrete barrier. Main risk: Standing/mootness dismissal if dealership remediates barriers pre-trial, similar to Burton v. Chase Point mootness dispute over remedial fixes. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$50K Comparables are largely unrelated (ECOA, employment, condo) diluting reliability; true ADA dealership tester-suit benchmarks would be far more predictive. · grounded in 8 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.
