Rentschler, et al. v. Atlantic General Hospital Corporation

United States District Court, District of Maryland

Case No. 1:23-cv-01005- JRR

If You Previously Received a Notice Stating You Were Impacted by the Atlantic General Hospital Data Incident, You Are Eligible to Receive Payments from a Class Action Settlement

  • If you are receiving a notice, you are eligible to receive a payment from a proposed $2,250,000 class action settlement (the “Settlement Fund”). To be eligible to make a Settlement Claim, your information must have been impacted in the Data Incident perpetrated on Atlantic General Hospital Corporation (“AGH”), discovered on January 29, 2023.  
  • The Litigation alleges that on or around January 20, 2023, cybercriminals breached AGH’s computer and information systems and accessed personally identifying information, financial account information, and private health information (collectively, “Private Information”) belonging to AGH’s current and former patients (the “Data Incident”).
  • Defendant denies any wrongdoing and denies that it has any liability but has agreed to settle the Litigation on a class-wide basis.
  • Eligible claimants under the Settlement Agreement will be eligible to receive:

  Reimbursement for documented losses, up to $5,000, incurred as a result of the Data Incident;

OR

  A Cash Award, in lieu of the reimbursement for documented losses;

AND

  In addition to making a Settlement Claim for a Cash Award or documented losses, Settlement Class Members may also make a claim for Credit Monitoring and & Insurance Services – each Settlement Class Member who submits a timely and Valid Claim may elect to receive three (3) years of Credit Monitoring and Insurance Services (“CMIS”) regardless of whether they also make a Settlement Claim for a Settlement Payment above.
