| Ryze, Inc.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · Judge Lewis Jeffrey Liman · No. 1:26-cv-09641 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $65K–$780K ▾Web/ADA accessibility claims split in comparables: Lowell v. Lyft affirmed dismissal for failure to prove effective accommodation, while Holmes v. Bax affirmed ADA violations where state defendants failed statutory duties. Ryze's e-commerce site likely faces a serial-plaintiff style claim typical of S.D.N.Y. ADA website suits. 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.) — plaintiff bears burden to show requested modification is effective; many S.D.N.Y. website ADA suits dismissed on similar reasoning. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead a plausible, effective accommodation, as in Lowell v. Lyft, especially if claim is injunctive-only under Title III. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$225K No direct per-member data for this theory; estimate blends small settlement comparables with statutory NYCHRL damages, not Ryze-specific facts. · grounded in 9 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-11-04 | $65K–$780K comparable settlements |
