| Josephinenhutte, Inc.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-06237 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Case comparables ▾No direct ADA website-accessibility comps in this set; Price v. Diab shows courts readily grant prevailing-party fees after default/injunctive relief, signaling plaintiff-friendly fee dynamics even absent damages exposure. Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) — confirms ADA plaintiffs can recover attorney's fees even via default judgment, raising litigation cost pressure on defendants like Josephinenhutte. Main risk: Single-plaintiff ADA suits often settle quickly to avoid fee-shifting exposure seen in Price v. Diab, but lack of merits ruling here limits predictive certainty. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$10K Extremely thin comparable set; no direct ADA accessibility settlements or verdicts on record, figures are rough proxies from general S.D.N.Y. practice. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-23 | $2K–$10K rough EV |

Diab's affirmance of default/injunctive relief; but no directly on-point dismissal-stage ruling exists in this small sample. Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) — confirms ADA plaintiffs can secure injunctive relief and fee awards even via default, signaling courts favor accessibility remediation. Main risk: Standing/mootness challenges if defendant remediates site quickly, as ADA claims often turn on ongoing barrier allegations rather than damages. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$10K Comparables are only tangentially related (ECOA, fee-shifting); no direct ADA accessibility dismissal or settlement data exists for this defendant or theory. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-23 | $2K–$10K rough EV |
| Hat Heaven Inc.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-06239 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 · view case timeline → Case comparables ▾Comparable rulings are largely inapposite (ECOA disparate-impact OLC opinion, 9th Cir. fee-shifting case), leaving no direct S.D.N.Y. ADA website-accessibility precedent to anchor prediction. Price v. Diab shows courts do enforce ADA relief and fees once liability is established, suggesting plaintiffs who survive dismissal often secure injunctive relief plus fees. Key precedent: Price v. Diab—confirms ADA plaintiffs obtaining injunctive relief can recover attorney's fees, raising settlement leverage even absent damages caps. Main risk: ADA Title III alone offers no compensatory damages; case value hinges on state/city law claims (NYSHRL/NYCHRL) for monetary recovery. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$250K Comparables are weak analogues; true recovery depends on state-law claims and individual settlement negotiation, not reflected in cited rulings. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-23 | –$250K rough EV |

Altonaga · No. 1:26-cv-24953 · 42:12182 Americans with Disabilities Act · view case timeline → Case comparables ▾Comparables are sparse and largely unrelated (ECOA disparate-impact OLC opinion, ADA fee-shifting case Price v. Diab). Price v. Diab confirms fee awards follow default/injunctive wins, suggesting these suits often resolve via quick injunctive relief plus fees rather than trial. Key precedent: Price v. Diab — confirms ADA plaintiffs recover attorney's fees as 'prevailing party' even on default judgment, driving settlement incentives. Main risk: Title III ADA claims yield only injunctive relief/fees, not damages, capping recovery regardless of survival. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$8K Extremely thin comparable set unrelated in substance to ADA accessibility; estimate is a rough proxy, not data-driven. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.

Mensah · No. 4:26-cv-01154 · 15:1692 Fair Debt Collection Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $30M–$68M ▾Comparable rulings split: BIPA claims survived/vacated for further fact-finding (Clements v. Gunnar), while removal and procedural claims were dismissed (Integris, Olson); no direct wiretap precedent matches PRA's SOL-letter theory. Comparable settlements $30M–$68M median $59.50M · n=10 Google Assistant $68M · Google $68M · Flo, Google, and F $59.50M Per member (realized): ~$30 median · $29–$30 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425M Class (from complaint): All individuals to whom Defendant sent collection letters containing misleading language regarding statute of limitations on time-barred debts. Key precedent: Wright v. Portfolio Recovery Associates (reversed and remanded) shows PRA has prior adverse appellate rulings on FCRA/FDCPA-style collection claims, suggesting exposure here. Main risk: Claim theory mismatch (wiretap label vs. FDCPA-style SOL letter content) could trigger dismissal for failure to state a privacy/wiretap injury, as in Integris removal/dismissal pattern. This defendant: PRA Group has repeat CFPB enforcement history and prior reversed FDCPA ruling (Wright), indicating recurring compliance litigation exposure. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $145K–$2.50M Theory (wiretap) doesn't align well with class definition (misleading SOL letters); estimate is highly speculative given small, mismatched sample. · grounded in 6 rulings, 10 settlements, 2 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | E.D.

| TRANS UNION, LLCsource ↗ filed by Greg Gorski Law, PLLC · No. 5:26-cv-05129 · 15:1681 Fair Credit Reporting Act · view case timeline → Comparable settlements –$7.40M ▾Minano v. DLJ shows courts readily dismiss FCRA furnisher claims but here Trans Union is a CRA directly subject to §1681i reinvestigation duties, a stronger private-right-of-action theory. Askins v. CRST shows some courts treat bare FCRA procedural violations as sufficient injury, aiding standing, but pleading specificity (per Minano) remains a real dismissal risk. Comparable settlements –$7.40M median $2.23M · n=4 Trader Joe's $7.40M · RentGrow $2.25M · Equifax $2.20M Per member (realized): ~$102 median · $102–$102 (n=1) Class (from complaint): Duane E. Norman, Sr. on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated who disputed inquiry information with Trans Union and were denied proper reinvestiga Key precedent: Minano v. DLJ Mortgage Capital — shows FCRA claims survive only with specific factual pleading; §1681i claims against a CRA (not furnisher) are more viable but still vulnerable to dismissal without prejudice for insufficiency. Main risk: Dismissal for insufficient factual specificity on 'denied proper reinvestigation,' mirroring Minano's dismissal of under-pled FCRA counts. This defendant: Two other pending FCRA filings against Trans Union (Lisman, Cobbs) indicate recurring litigation exposure and possible systemic reinvestigation practice challenges. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $250K–$30M Single realized per-member data point and no directly on-point verdicts; class size is speculative absent discovery on dispute volume. · grounded in 10 rulings, 4 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | Consumer Credit (FCRA/FDCPA) | E.D.

| Boone Mountain Sports, LLCsource ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-06185 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Case comparables ▾Price v. Diab shows ADA accessibility claims often reach default judgment/injunctive relief with fee-shifting, favoring plaintiffs; the ECOA ruling is unrelated but shows courts scrutinize statutory text closely, a risk for expansive theories. Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) - confirms plaintiffs prevailing on ADA accessibility claims can recover fees even via default judgment, supporting litigation leverage. Main risk: Single-plaintiff ADA claims often dismissed for lack of standing or mootness if defendant remediates quickly, as seen in many SDNY ADA dockets. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$15K No settlements, verdicts, or defendant history exist; estimates rely on generic SDNY ADA litigation patterns, not case-specific data. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-22 | $2K–$15K rough EV |

Diab shows ADA injunctive relief claims can succeed even on default judgment, but fee entitlement is contested and can be reversed. No direct SDNY retail accessibility comps here to confirm survival odds. Key precedent: Price v. Diab: default judgment/injunction affirmed, but 'prevailing party' fee award reversed, showing fee-shifting risk even on liability wins. Main risk: Fee-shifting uncertainty post-liability, as in Price v. Diab, could limit recovery even if injunctive claim succeeds. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2K–$10K Only two loosely related comparables exist; no direct SDNY retail ADA rulings or settlements for this defendant type. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-22 | $2K–$10K rough EV |
| Skimo Co.source ↗ filed by Gottlieb & Associates · No. 1:26-cv-06187 · 42:12101 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Case comparables ▾ADA Title III accessibility suits often survive early motions per Price v. Diab's recognition of injunctive relief claims, but fee-shifting entitlement is unsettled (reversed in that case). No settlement data specific to Skimo Co exists to calibrate exposure. Key precedent: Price v. Diab (9th Cir.) — confirms ADA plaintiffs can win injunctive relief via default judgment, but attorney's fee entitlement is contested, capping recovery certainty. Main risk: Attorney's fee award reversal risk (as in Price v. Diab) could sharply limit monetary recovery even if injunction is granted. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): –$10K Web signals do not clearly identify Skimo Co.'s business or size; no settlement or verdict data specific to this defendant or theory exists. · grounded in 2 rulings, 0 settlements, 0 verdicts | Filing | ADA / Accessibility | S.D.N.Y. | 2026-07-22 | –$10K rough EV |

Diab on fee-shifting), giving little direct guidance on ADA Title III website/access merits in M.D. Fla. Key precedent: Price v. Diab - confirms plaintiffs can recover fees as 'prevailing party' even via default judgment, shaping settlement incentives.
