EMSA Data Breach Class Action Settlement
What Is the Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) Settlement About?
This class action lawsuit alleges that Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) experienced a data security incident between February 10 and February 13, 2024, during which an unauthorized party gained access to EMSA’s network. According to the allegations, files containing personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI)—such as names and Social Security numbers—were accessed or acquired.
EMSA denies any wrongdoing or liability. The parties reached a proposed settlement to resolve these claims, which has received preliminary approval and is pending final court approval.
How Much Is the Emergency Medical Services Authority Settlement Payout?
If you're eligible and submit a valid claim, you may receive one or more settlement benefits, rather than a single flat payment:
- Reimbursement for Monetary and Out-of-Pocket Losses: Up to $3,000 per Settlement Class Member for documented losses fairly traceable to the data incident.
- Compensation for Lost Time: Up to four (4) hours at $15 per hour (maximum $60). This amount counts toward the $3,000 cap.
- Credit Monitoring: Two (2) years of free single-bureau identity protection and credit monitoring.
The final payout amount will vary based on the number of valid claims submitted and the benefits selected.
