Lyft (2d Cir.) affirmed dismissal because plaintiffs failed to prove proposed modifications were effective, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA claims at summary judgment.

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.) - controlling in S.D.N.Y.'s circuit; shows courts require plaintiffs to prove effectiveness of proposed accommodation, a common failure point. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead a provable, effective accommodation, as in Lowell v. Lyft This defendant: Prior Davis v. Cole Haan (False Advertising) suggests recurring consumer-litigation exposure, not ADA-specific pattern Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $25K–$138K Small comparable sample, no Cole Haan-specific ADA rulings, and class size is speculative absent certification data. · grounded in 8 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-09-30 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
