Coastal Orthopedics Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Coastal Orthopedics data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
Coastal Orthopedics & Sports Medicine of Southwest Florida released an updated notice regarding a data breach that potentially exposed the personal and medical information of current and former patients. The incident was first reported in August 2023.
On June 11, 2023, Coastal Orthopedics detected unusual activity on its network, with investigations revealing unauthorized access occurring between June 6 and June 11, resulting in the theft of certain files and folders. To assess the impact, Coastal Orthopedics scrutinized the compromised files to identify sensitive content and the individuals affected. The company also verified contact details through a thorough review of internal records.
According to a notice on the health care provider's website, the Coastal Orthopedics data breach may have exposed a combination of names, Social Security numbers, patient and medical record numbers, diagnoses, additional medical details, addresses, driver's license numbers, health insurance information, financial account information, and dates of birth. Coastal Orthopedics has since notified those impacted via written communication.
If your information was exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Coastal Orthopedics to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
