Who can file a claim?

Class members must meet the following criteria:

They received a notification from Compex Legal Services Inc. that the April 2024 cyber incident impacted their PII or PHI.
Compex identified them as a potential class member based on its business records and mailed or emailed them a notice with a unique ID in August 2024.

How much can class members receive?

The total settlement fund is $872,500. After deducting attorneys’ fees and costs, service awards to class representatives and administrative costs, the settlement administrator will distribute the remaining funds to class members. If the total amount of valid claims exceeds the net settlement fund, the administrator will reduce payments proportionally.

Eligible class members who submit a valid claim can receive one or both of the following:

Documented losses: Up to $5,000 per class member for documented losses up to $5,000 that are reasonably traceable to the cyber incident
Flat cash payment: $100 to $200 per class member (subject to pro rata reduction depending on the total number of valid claims)

Why did this class action settlement happen?

The lawsuit claimed an unauthorized user accessed Compex Legal Services Inc.'s systems in April 2024, potentially exposing personal and health information of individuals in its records. The plaintiffs alleged Compex failed to adequately protect this information.

Compex denies any wrongdoing, and no court has made a determination of liability. Both parties agreed to settle to avoid the risks and costs of continued litigation.
