Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I'm eligible?
If you received a breach notification letter or email from an organization listed in an active settlement, you likely qualify. Some settlements also accept alternative proof such as account screenshots or billing statements confirming you were a customer during the breach period.
What evidence should I keep?
Save your breach notification, proof of membership or employment, receipts for any out-of-pocket costs (bank fees, credit freezes, postage), and a written log of time you spent dealing with the breach's impact. The more documentation you have, the stronger your claim.
How much compensation can I receive?
It varies by settlement. Many offer reimbursement for documented losses plus compensation for your time (often $25–$75/hour, capped). Some provide statutory damages of $100–$500 even without documented harm. Check the specific settlement page for payout limits and deadlines.
Is there a deadline to file?
Yes — and deadlines are strictly enforced by the court. Missing a claim deadline permanently bars you from receiving compensation from that settlement. Each settlement page lists its specific deadline. Sign up for our newsletter to receive deadline alerts.
Do I need a lawyer to file a data breach claim?
Not required, but legal help ensures your claim includes all eligible categories of relief and is filed correctly. Our network attorneys work on contingency — no upfront fees. They are paid only from settlement funds if compensation is recovered.
What if I never received a breach notification?
You may still qualify. Companies are not always required to notify every affected individual, and notifications sometimes go to spam or old addresses. If you were a customer, patient, or employee of an organization listed in an active settlement during the breach period, submit a free claim review — an attorney can confirm your eligibility.
