Background of the Lawsuit
In July 2024, Bayhealth Medical Center discovered a data incident that potentially compromised the personal information of individuals. Class representatives filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Superior Court alleging negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty. The case is titled Dunlop, et al. v. Bayhealth Medical Center, Inc., Case No. N25C-10-167.
Bayhealth denies any wrongdoing. Rather than proceed to trial, both parties agreed to a settlement that provides $2.5 million to compensate affected individuals through cash payments, out-of-pocket loss reimbursements, and free credit monitoring services. The settlement avoids the cost and uncertainty of litigation while delivering benefits to class members.
