| POLARIS ESTATES, LLCsource ↗ filed by The Mineo Salcedo Law Firm, P.A. · No. 1:26-cv-27694 · 42:12182 Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$780K ▾Comparable rulings split: Holmes affirmed ADA violations and Burton revived equitable ADA-adjacent claims, but Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal where plaintiff couldn't prove modification effectiveness and Billesdon reversed ADA failure-to-accommodate claims for insufficient evidence. S.D. Fla. is a high-volume ADA Title III forum where barrier-removal claims often survive early motions but recovery is capped (injunctive relief + fees, no damages). 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.) matters most — it shows courts dismiss ADA accessibility claims absent concrete proof that requested accommodation/modification is effective and feasible. Main risk: Plaintiff fails to show the requested accessibility modification is reasonable/effective, as in Lowell v. Lyft, leading to dismissal or summary judgment for defendant. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$750K Comparables are largely off-theory (employment ADA, ECOA, fee disputes) and settlements involve larger multi-site defendants; true per-case value for a single S.D. Fla. property is likely far below the broad range shown. · grounded in 8 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.
