Data Breach Victims Will Receive Up To $5,000 After North Carolina Firm Settles Million-Dollar Lawsuit
A North Carolina-based healthcare firm has agreed to pay millions of dollars to settle a class action lawsuit filed over a data breach that happened around two years ago.
According to the settlement administrator’s portal, Eastern Radiologists will pay $3.25 million to settle a class action lawsuit that alleged the healthcare firm’s negligence led to unauthorized users accessing its computer network on or around November 24th of 2023, resulting in a breach of personal and medical data.
“The Private Information involved includes but is not limited to, any combination of names, Social Security numbers, home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, financial account numbers, driver’s license numbers, patient account numbers, billing account numbers, health insurance plan member ID, medical record number, dates of service, provider names, medical treatment information, or other sensitive personal information.”
The settlement class members who incurred documented costs or expenses as a result of the data breach will receive up to $5,000 per person.
Alternatively, the settlement class members will be offered a cash payment that will be determined on a pro rata basis. The alternative cash payment will not require documentation to prove that losses or expenses were incurred as a result of the data breach.
Eastern Radiologists will also offer free medical account monitoring to the settlement class members for one year as part of the deal with the plaintiffs.
To receive payment, the class members are required to submit claims by December 1st. A final settlement approval hearing will be held on December 15th.
As part of the settlement, Eastern Radiologists denies any wrongdoing or liability.
