Can I file a data breach class action lawsuit?
Following any data theft incident, it is important to know what is at risk. Medical identity theft and financial fraud are common when sensitive personal data gets leaked to cybercriminals. The rise of ransomware attacks targeting healthcare organizations makes it more important than ever to safeguard your personal information.
Our data privacy lawyers can assist you following any data breach, and can discuss your legal options. Filing class actions against negligent companies can not only compensate you for any losses, but can hold those responsible parties accountable for failing to establish secure networks. For years hospitals and healthcare entities have known there are significant IT security risks, and yet many have not invested in proper security systems. Legal action may be necessary to force these companies to protect our data.
