Background of the Lawsuit
This class action alleges that American Addiction Centers failed to adequately secure and safeguard patients’ private information, including names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, treatment information, and health insurance information. According to the complaint, this security failure resulted in a data breach on or about September 26, 2024, in which cybercriminals gained unauthorized access to or acquired Settlement Class Members’ Private Information. American Addiction Centers notified potentially affected patients about the breach between November and December 2024.
American Addiction Centers denies all of the Plaintiffs’ claims and maintains that it did not do anything wrong. Rather than proceed to trial, the parties agreed to settle the case. If approved by the Court, a $2,750,000 Settlement Fund will be established to provide benefits to eligible Settlement Class Members, including credit monitoring, expense reimbursement, and cash payments.
