| Kalalou Caraibbean Bar and Grill LLC d/b/a Kalalou Caribbean Bar and Grillsource ↗ filed by Sconzo Law Office, P.A. · No. 6:26-cv-02559 · Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$780K ▾ADA Title III accessibility claims are fact-specific; Lowell v. Lyft shows plaintiffs must prove effectiveness of requested modifications, while Price v. Diab shows injunctive relief + fees are readily available on default/liability findings. Small single-location restaurant defendants rarely litigate to trial, favoring early settlement or consent decree. Comparable settlements $65K–$780K median $365K · n=4 The Container Stor $780K · Covenant Retiremen $530K · Association of Apa $200K Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) - confirms ADA plaintiffs who secure injunctive relief qualify as prevailing parties entitled to fees, which drives settlement posture in restaurant access suits. Main risk: Case may be mooted or resolved cheaply via quick ADA remediation (ramp/signage fixes) before significant fee exposure accrues, per mootness concerns seen in Burton v. Chase Point. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $3K–$20K Settlement comparables involve large multi-location corporate defendants, not directly comparable to small 1-2 location LLC; ADA Title III yields no per-member statutory damages, limiting EV framework's applicability. · grounded in 8 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | M.D. Fla. | 2026-10-30 | $65K–$780K comparable settlements |
