| Pacha Soap Co.source ↗ filed by Joseph & Norinsberg, LLC · No. 1:26-cv-08524 · 42:12188 Americans With Disabilities Act - Civil Enforcement Actions · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾Comparables split: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal of ADA claims for failure to prove effective modification, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations and Price v. Diab upheld default/injunctive relief. No defendant-specific history exists to tip the scale either way. 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.) matters most — it's the most recent 2d Cir. ADA accessibility ruling and sets the plaintiff's burden to prove effectiveness of requested accommodation, a likely battleground here. Main risk: Dismissal on standing/mootness or failure to show a concrete, effective remedial modification, as in Lowell v. Lyft Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$25K Small sample, no defendant-specific history, and settlement comps are from larger multi-plaintiff physical-access cases, not single-plaintiff website claims. · grounded in 8 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-29 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
