If you lived in the U.S. and your workers’ compensation audit file was potentially compromised during the October 2023 Brodart Co. data breach, you may be eligible to claim up to $2,500 plus other benefits from a class action settlement. This is your opportunity to recover losses, claim time spent dealing with the breach, and access credit monitoring services.
Why This Lawsuit Exists?
In October 2023, Brodart Co.’s computer systems were targeted in a cyberattack, exposing sensitive personal information. The breach potentially included:
Names, addresses, and dates of birth
Social Security numbers and government-issued ID numbers
Financial account information and credit/debit card details
Phone numbers and medical information
Â
The lawsuit claimed Brodart failed to protect this data. Brodart denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the costs and uncertainties of litigation.
Who Qualifies?
You may be part of the settlement if you:
Lived in the United States at the time of the breach, and
Your workers’ compensation audit file contained an unredacted Social Security number that may have been exposed in October 2023.
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible class members can claim:
Â
Out-of-pocket expenses: Up to $1,000 for documented costs such as credit reports, credit monitoring, ID replacement, or postage.
Lost time: Up to 4 hours at $20/hour (max $80) for time spent on breach-related tasks like changing passwords or monitoring accounts. Counts toward the $1,000 out-of-pocket cap.
