Comparable settlements $65K–$780K ▾
Comparable ADA rulings split: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal where plaintiff failed to prove effectiveness of accommodation, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA claims surviving summary judgment. No defendant-specific history exists to tilt the read either way.
Comparable settlements $65K–$780K median $365K · n=4
The Container Stor $780K · Covenant Retiremen $530K · Association of Apa $200K
Key precedent: Lowell v. Lyft (2d Cir.) - dismissal affirmed because plaintiff bore burden to show proposed accessibility modification was effective, a common failure point in ADA accommodation suits.
Main risk: Failure to plead a specific, effective accommodation (as in Lowell) or mootness if defendant voluntarily remediates before certification (as in Burton v. Chase Point).
Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$750K
Small, heterogeneous comparable set; no prior Budget Blinds litigation data; true class size and per-member recovery highly uncertain. · grounded in 8 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts
