Broward Health
Data Breach

The Lyon Firm is investigating North Broward health data breach cases on behalf of plaintiffs in Florida and nationwide. Patient data should be protected by healthcare entities, and when that personal trust is breached by negligent security, legal action may be necessary.

A Broward Health data breach incident involved the personal medical information of tens of thousands of patients. Although there is not yet evidence of misused personal information, that is always a distinct possibility in data breach events. Broward Health has begun alerting those impacted in the security incident so that you may take quick and necessary precautions to protect their identity and medical identity.

Broward Health has stated that on October 15, 2021, a hacker gained unauthorized access to the Broward Health network. The personal medical information accessed may have included the following:

• Name
• Date of birth
• Address
• Phone number
• Financial or bank account information
• Social Security number
• Insurance information and account number
• Medical information (medical history, condition, treatment and diagnosis, medical record number)
• Driver’s license number
• Email address

The Lyon Firm is investigating the Broward Health data breach and is actively involved in numerous data privacy cases and has experience filing data security claims on behalf of plaintiffs nationwide.
