| Mr. Splash USA, CO.source ↗ filed by Mendez Law Offices, PLLC · Judge Joan A. Lenard · No. 1:26-cv-27261 · 42:12182 Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$780K ▾ADA Title III accessibility suits against small businesses in S.D. Fla. typically survive past MTD but yield only injunctive relief plus fees, as seen in Lowell v. Lyft where plaintiff still bore burden on reasonableness. Mr. Splash USA's tiny scale (~$644K revenue) suggests a single-plaintiff tester suit, not a class action. 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.) - shows ADA public accommodation claims can be dismissed if plaintiff fails to prove proposed modification was reasonable/effective. Main risk: Plaintiff fails to establish standing or that requested modification is readily achievable given business's small footprint, per Lowell reasoning. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$30K No directly comparable small-business ADA Title III settlement data; figures are rough proxies, not class-based statutory damages. · grounded in 8 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.
