    Why are Data Breach Cases important?

    Without data breach class actions, large corporate defendants would be able to cause small amounts of harm over a large group of individuals without any risk of monetary penalty.

    Holding companies accountable for poor cybersecurity and data theft incidents helps ensure that consumers are better protected in the future.
