Bayhealth survived on confidentiality/tracking theory while Tower Health and Nuance were dismissed on similar pixel/data-sharing claims. Gunnar Optiks shows courts are reluctant to dismiss at pleading stage when factual questions on consent/exclusions remain. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $81.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Google $135M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — survived MTD on tracking-tech confidentiality claim, closest analog to a wiretap theory against a small service business. Main risk: Dismissal for lack of standing/consent similar to Tower Health, where Meta Pixel tracking claim failed despite plausible privacy harm. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $3K–$145K Tiny local defendant makes mega-settlement comps inapplicable; true exposure likely far below statutory ceilings given limited assets and class size. · grounded in 9 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-10-16 | $59.50M–$725M comparable settlements |
