| PINNACLE LIFE CAREERS LLCsource ↗ filed by COLEMAN, PLLC · Judge Edward S. Kiel · No. 1:26-cv-13466 · 47:227 Restrictions of Use of Telephone Equipment · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M ▾Appellate TCPA rulings split: Howard v. RNC and Perrong v. Bradford dismissed robocall claims on narrow statutory-definition grounds, while League of Women Voters v. Kramer survived MTD on similar robocall theory. Hulce v. Zipongo shows courts narrowly construe 'telephone solicitation,' a likely defense here. Comparable settlements $29.50M–$76M median $36.20M · n=10 Caribbean Cruise L $76M · Dish Network $61M · US Coachways $49.90M Per member (realized): ~$20 median · $10–$500 (n=4) Comparable verdict: Dish Network, LLC $61M · ccAdvertising and Dr $32.42M Key precedent: League of Women Voters v. Kramer (D.N.H.) — most factually similar surviving TCPA robocall claim, showing viable path past MTD if concrete injury pled. Main risk: Dismissal on definitional grounds (prerecorded voice/solicitation scope) as in Howard and Hulce, given Pinnacle's apparent small recruiting-firm profile Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5K–$350K No prior litigation history or confirmed class size data for this specific small defendant; estimate highly speculative. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 3 verdicts | Filing | Robocalls & Texts (TCPA) | D.N.J. | 2026-10-15 | $29.50M–$76M comparable settlements |
