EMSA data breach class action settlement

Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it failed to prevent a 2024 data breach that compromised patient information.

The settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notification from Emergency Medical Services Authority informing them that their information may have been compromised in a data breach in 2024.

The EMSA data breach occurred between Feb. 10 and 13, 2024, according to a class action lawsuit. During the breach, an unauthorized party allegedly gained access to EMSA’s network and acquired files that contained sensitive patient information.

Plaintiffs in the data breach class action lawsuit claim EMSA failed to protect their information through reasonable cybersecurity measures. As a result, the plaintiffs and other class members had to deal with the consequences of identity theft, the class action lawsuit contends.

Emergency Medical Services Authority is an ambulance service in Oklahoma. The service provides emergency medical care to more than 1 million people each year.

EMSA has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the EMSA settlement, class members can receive up to $3,000 for documented monetary losses that are fairly traceable to the data breach. This includes bank fees, communication charges, credit-related expenses and more.

Class members can also receive up to four hours of lost time at a rate of $15 per hour, for a maximum lost time payment of $60. Lost time payments are included in the $3,000 cap for monetary losses.

Class members can receive two years of free single-bureau credit monitoring and identity protection services through the settlement.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 3, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the EMSA data breach settlement is scheduled for April 6, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by March 5, 2026.
