Vargas · No. 1:26-cv-08762 · 42:12188 Americans With Disabilities Act - Civil Enforcement Actions · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$530K ▾ADA accessibility claims split in comparables: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal for failure to prove reasonable modification, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations and Billesdon reversed failure-to-accommodate claims, showing inconsistent judicial treatment of similar theories. 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 circuit precedent showing SDNY-adjacent courts require plaintiffs to prove modification reasonableness, a high bar for accessibility claims. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead a reasonable, effective accommodation, as in Lowell v. Lyft where plaintiffs bore burden and failed. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $50K–$250K Small, heterogeneous comparable set; no defendant-specific history or verdict data; true class size and damages model highly uncertain. · grounded in 8 rulings, 3 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-10-05 | $65K–$530K comparable settlements |
