Metromile data breach $775K class action settlement

Metromile agreed to a $775,000 class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it failed to prevent a data breach incident that lasted from July 2020 to January 2021.

The settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notification letter from Metromile informing them that their information may have been compromised in a data breach between July 2020 and January 2021.

Hackers allegedly gained access to sensitive personal information for over 100,000 Metromile customers during a long-term data breach between July 2020 and January 2021. According to plaintiffs in a data breach class action lawsuit, Metromile failed to prevent and manage this data breach due to a failure to implement cybersecurity measures.

Metromile is a car insurance company characterized by its pay-per-mile structure. 

Metromile hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $775,000 settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the settlement, consumers can receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to the data breach. This reimbursement covers unreimbursed losses, credit expenses, lost time and other losses. Instead of this reimbursement, class members can choose to receive a flat-rate payment of $30.

The settlement also includes two years of free credit monitoring services through Experian. These services include dark web scanning, user notifications, fraud-resolution tools and a $1 million identity theft insurance policy. 

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 21, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the Metromile data incident settlement is scheduled for Jan. 26, 2024.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 21, 2023.
