WHAT IS A DATA BREACH?

A data breach occurs when a company or entity has information leaked or stolen. Companies have a responsibility and a duty of care for the information within their systems. When data under their control is accessed by unauthorized individuals or otherwise compromised, we call this a data breach. This data usually includes personal information about employees, clients, customers, etc.

Information regularly compromised is referred to as Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) (including such things as names, addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and telephone numbers) or Protected Health Information (“PHI”) (including information related to your medical records, treatment, and insurance. Businesses are required to secure this information or risk facing statutory and other penalties. Stolen PII and PHI can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity.

We pursue these cases to make sure people are compensated for any losses and hardship due to the breach, and we also want to make sure you are protected from future breaches from the company in question.

OUR NO-COST PROMISE :

When you sign up below, we will reach out with a retainer for you to sign, which enables us to represent your interests in the case. Details regarding the representation are in the retainer. However, we want to emphasize our “No Cost Promise.”

Our firm simply works on a contingency fee basis, which means that our getting paid is “contingent” upon whether we obtain any recovery on our client’s behalf. Our client will NOT BE obligated to cover any attorneys’ fees or costs. If we succeed in our case, the negotiations for settlement payout from the entity in question will also take our fees and costs into consideration, along with the payout for our client. If we fail in our case, we will take on all costs of the case ourselves, and our client will owe us nothing. Additional details regarding this may be found in the retainer.

ONCE THE RETAINER IS SIGHNED :

Once someone signs our retainer, we reach out for more information specific to the case. In Data Breach cases, we work to obtain a Data Breach Notification Letter from the retained client. After that, we will proceed to litigate the case and keep our client/s updated on the latest developments. A choice our clients can make is whether to become a class rep or not.

 WHAT IS A CLASS REP ?

A class rep is someone with a particularly strong case and is willing to provide evidence of their case to a court if necessary, representing the entire class of people who were harmed by the breach. In most cases, an actual court appearance isn’t needed, but having a client who is ready and willing to be called on makes our case significantly stronger. Because of the extra time and effort of a class rep, they will receive a service award, which consists of extra monetary compensation. NOTE: Signing up below DOES NOT make you a class rep, and you will not be put forward as one without explicit consent and understanding
