The Lawsuit is a proposed class action lawsuit brought on behalf of all individuals whose Personal Information was actually or potentially accessed during the Security Incident.
The Lawsuit claims Defendant San Diego American Indian Health Center is legally responsible for the Security Incident and asserts various legal claims including negligence, violation of the California’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 56, et seq.), invasion of privacy, breach of confidence, breach of implied contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unfair business practices, and unjust enrichment. Defendant denies these claims and denies that it did anything wrong.
You are a member of the Settlement Class if your Personal Information was actually or potentially accessed during the Security Incident and were notified of a Security Incident.
“Security Incident” is defined as “the access by unauthorized actors to San Diego American Indian Health Center’s computer network in or around May 2022, as further described in the Recitals, and any and all facts, actions and circumstances related thereto, whether occurring or arising before, on or after the date of this Agreement.”
The proposed settlement establishes a Settlement Fund of $350,000, which will be used to pay all settlement costs, including: (i) payments to Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims, (ii) costs of administration and notice, (iii) any attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the Court to Class Counsel, and (iv) any service awards to the Representative Plaintiffs awarded by the Court. The settlement also releases all claims or potential claims of Settlement Class Members against the Defendant arising from or related to the Data Security Incident, as detailed in the Class Settlement Agreement and Release.
Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims will be entitled to a cash payment, estimated at approximately $50, or 36 months of identity theft protection and fraud resolution services. The actual amount may be adjusted depending on the number of valid claims submitted.
