$240K Air Methods data breach class action settlement

Air Methods agreed to pay $240,000 to resolve claims it failed to prevent a November 2023 data breach that compromised patient information.

The Air Methods settlement benefits individuals who received direct notice that their personal information may have been compromised in the incident.

The Air Methods data breach reportedly occurred when a criminal third party stole a laptop containing sensitive patient information. According to plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit, Air Methods is responsible for the security incident because it should have implemented reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect patient data.

Air Methods is an air ambulance company that operates a fleet of helicopters and airplanes to transport patients to medical facilities.

Air Methods hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $240,000 settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Air Methods settlement, consumers can receive up to $2,500 in reimbursement for data breach losses. Class members can also receive a pro rata cash payment estimated to be $75, though actual payment amounts will be adjusted based on the number of valid claims submitted.

Additionally, the Air Methods data breach settlement provides two years of free Identity Defense Total Credit Monitoring by Cyex. This service provides state-of-the-art identity theft protection and credit monitoring services.

The exclusion and objection deadline was Nov. 12, 2024.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2025.

The claim form deadline is Dec. 11, 2024.
