Kaufman · No. 2:26-cv-11422 · 42:12101 Americans With Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾ADA accessibility claims show split outcomes: Holmes affirmed ADA violations while Lowell affirmed dismissal for failure to prove effective modification; Price shows fee-shifting complexity even after default judgment favors plaintiffs. 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 courts require plaintiffs to prove reasonableness/effectiveness of requested accommodation, a common defense hurdle for hotel ADA suits. Main risk: Dismissal if plaintiff fails to show a concrete, effective remedial modification, per Lowell v. Lyft reasoning applied to physical accessibility barriers. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $4K–$100K Small, non-uniform comparable set; case appears to be an individual accessibility claim, not a class action, limiting applicability of larger settlement benchmarks. · grounded in 8 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | C.D.
