You may be eligible for benefits from a class action settlement.
A Court authorized this Settlement Website. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- A Settlement has been reached with American Addition Centers, Inc. (“Defendant”) in a class action related to a Data Incident that occurred on or about September 26, 2024, and which resulted in the unauthorized access to or acquisition of Settlement Class Members’ Private Information (names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, medical record numbers or other identifiers, Social Security Numbers, treatment information, and health insurance information). Defendant notified potentially impacted patients between November and December 2024 regarding the Data Incident. Defendant denies all of the Plaintiffs’ claims and maintains it did not do anything wrong.
- You are included in this Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if your Private Information was potentially compromised in the Data Incident, and Defendant sent you an individual notification letter to regarding the Data Incident.
- Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read this Settlement Website carefully.
