| Kinrose LLCsource ↗ filed by Open Access Law APC · Judge Stephanie S. Christensen · No. 2:26-cv-12051 · 42:12101 Americans With Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$780K ▾ADA accessibility claims often survive early motions (Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations) but fail when plaintiffs can't show effective remedy (Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal for failure to prove reasonableness). 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 courts dismiss ADA claims lacking concrete proof of feasible accommodation, a risk for small-business defendants like Kinrose. Main risk: Small single-location business (ice cream shop) may lack resources/scale to justify large settlement; claim could be dismissed if remediation is swift or plaintiff lacks standing (cf. Lowell v. Lyft). Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$75K Small sample, no defendant-specific litigation history, and settlement comps involve much larger companies than this single-location creamery. · grounded in 8 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | C.D.
