Pinnacle Propane data breach class action settlement

Pinnacle Propane reached a settlement to resolve class action lawsuit claims surrounding a data breach that occurred in December 2022.

The Pinnacle Propane settlement benefits current and former employees whose private information was compromised or potentially compromised in the data breach, which Pinnacle disclosed in June 2023. 

The Pinnacle Propane data breach class action alleges the cybersecurity incident compromised the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of some of the company’s current and former employees. The lawsuit alleges Pinnacle should have done more to protect employee data by implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Pinnacle Propane is a domestic and commercial propane supplier.

Pinnacle hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the Pinnacle Propane data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Pinnacle Propane settlement, class members can receive compensation for out-of-pocket losses and lost time. Class members can receive up to $2,000 in out-of-pocket losses and $240 in lost time. Claimants who receive this reimbursement are also eligible for three years of credit monitoring services, which includes three-bureau monitoring, identity restoration services and $1 million in identity theft insurance.

Class members who do not wish to file a claim for reimbursement can instead elect to receive an alternative cash payment of up to $100, but those who choose this option are not eligible to enroll in the credit monitoring services.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Nov. 13, 2024.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for Dec. 19, 2024.

The deadline for class members to submit a claim form is Dec. 13, 2024.
