| ATLAS RESTAURANT GROUP, LLCsource ↗ filed by Foty Law Group · Judge Erin Aslan · No. 1:26-cv-04424 · 05:704 Labor Litigation · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾Comparable privacy/tracking-tech rulings split: Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks survived pleading stage on confidentiality/BIPA theories, while Santoro v. Tower Health and Walker v. Fidelity were dismissed for similar tracking-pixel or data-use claims. Outcome likely turns on specific statutory text (Maryland Wiretap Act) and factual development on consent, mirroring Gunnar Optiks' fact-dependent remand. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $115M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Apple $250M 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 because defendant owed a confidentiality duty; closest analog for consumer-facing entities using tracking tech without consent. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead interception/disclosure specificity or consent defenses, as in Santoro v. Tower Health and Walker v. Fidelity. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $300K–$7.25M Small sample size, no prior cases against this defendant, and class size is speculative absent disclosed website traffic or customer data. · grounded in 9 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | D.
