Solara Medical Supplies has agreed to a $9.76 million class action settlement benefiting employees whose personal information may have been compromised during a 2019 data breach. The deadline to submit a Solara Medical settlement claim form is Aug. 8, 2022.

The class includes anyone residing in the United States or its territories and who was notified by Solara in November 2019 of the data breach that occurred between April 2 and June 20, 2019.

Solara Medical Supplies provides products and services to help people manage their diabetes, including glucose monitors and insulin pumps, according to the company’s website.

Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit claimed Solara Medical Supplies is responsible for the breach and accused the company of negligence and breach of contract, among other things.

While Solara denies any wrongdoing, it has agreed to resolve the claims with a settlement.

The proposed settlement provides cash payments as well as injunctive relief to class members.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, a cash fund of $5.06 million will be created to pay costs associated with the administration of the settlement, attorneys’ fees and payments to class members.

Class members who file a valid claim will be eligible to receive payments of $100 each. This amount may be adjusted up or down.

In addition to the cash payments, Solara Medical Supplies also has also committed to improving its security with the goal of avoiding any other such breaches in the future. These commitments relate to systems for detecting suspicious activity, authenticating users, and more.

A plaintiff’s expert has valued these commitments at more than $4.7 million over a period of five years.

A final hearing in the Solara Medical Supplies data breach settlement is scheduled to take place Sept. 12, 2022.

The deadline to request to be excluded from or to object to the settlement is Aug. 22, 2022.
