Vi data breach class action settlement

Senior living community Vi agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it failed to prevent a 2023 data breach.

The Vi settlement benefits individuals whose personal information the Vi data breach, which occurred on or about March 13, 2023, exposed.

An unauthorized party gained access to sensitive Vi information including names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, payment card data, medical treatment information and health data. According to the class action lawsuit, Vi could have prevented the breach through reasonable cybersecurity measures but failed to do so out of negligence.

Vi is a luxury senior living community with locations across the United States.

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

Under the terms of the Vi settlement, class members can receive up to $1,500 in reimbursement for ordinary losses related to the data breach. This includes bank fees, communication charges, travel expenses, credit-related costs and up to seven hours of lost time at a rate of $25 per hour. 

Class members who claim lost time must provide documentation or a written explanation of how the lost time is connected to a documented out-of-pocket loss.

Class members who experienced fraud and identity theft that was reasonably traceable to the data breach can also receive up to $5,000 for extraordinary losses..

All class members are eligible for two years of free Medical Shield Complete Monitoring with one-bureau monitoring. This service includes $1 million in medical identity theft insurance, real-time medical data monitoring services and access to fraud resolution agents.

As part of the settlement, Vi agreed to make information security improvements to further secure Vi systems and protect from future data breaches.

The deadline for exclusion and objection was Jan. 3, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Vi data breach settlement is scheduled for Feb. 19, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Feb. 3, 2025.
