Specialty Networks LLC and Prime Imaging LLC agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging a data security incident exposed the sensitive information of hundreds of thousands of individuals.
Who are the class members?
To qualify as a class member, Specialty Networks must have identified an individual as someone whom the data breach potentially impacted and sent them a notice.
The company notified approximately 395,866 people by mail and an additional 12,234 by substitute notice due to insufficient address information. The incident occurred on or about Dec. 18, 2023.
How much is the Specialty Networks payout?
- Cash payment A – documented losses: Up to $5,000 per person for documented, unreimbursed losses directly related to the data breach
- Cash payment B – flat cash: An estimated $100 per person as an alternative to the documented loss payment
- Credit monitoring: Up to three years of credit monitoring
All cash payments are subject to pro rata adjustment. If the total amount of valid claims is less than the settlement fund, each claimant’s payment may be increased proportionally. If the total amount of valid claims exceeds the available funds, each payment may be reduced proportionally.

Why is there a class action settlement?
The class action lawsuit alleged Specialty Networks LLC experienced a data security incident in December 2023 that potentially exposed the sensitive personal and health information of nearly 400,000 individuals. The plaintiffs claimed the company failed to adequately protect this information.
Specialty Networks denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of ongoing litigation. The settlement provides compensation and credit monitoring to affected individuals and requires Specialty Networks LLC to implement additional cybersecurity measures over a three-year period at the company’s expense.
