Lyft (2d Cir., same circuit as W.D.N.Y.) shows plaintiffs must prove modification effectiveness, often fatal to ADA web-access claims; but Holmes v. Bax shows ADA claims can survive summary judgment when well-pled. 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.) — controlling circuit precedent requiring plaintiff to prove reasonableness, a high bar for small e-commerce ADA suits. Main risk: Dismissal for failure to plead effective/reasonable accommodation, as in Lowell v. Lyft; small company may lack resources to litigate and settle cheaply or fold quickly Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $3K–$150K No direct ADA website-accessibility settlement data for comparably small defendants; estimate relies on analogy and may overstate class size. · grounded in 9 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | W.D.N.Y. | 2026-11-05 | $65K–$780K comparable settlements |
