Victims of a data breach involving Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker and Reliable Networks have one week left to claim compensation as part of a $7.25 million settlement.
Victims of a significant data breach involving Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, and their IT service provider Reliable Networks, have just one week left to file claims as part of a class-action settlement totaling $7.25 million. The breach, which exposed the sensitive personal information of over 100 customers, has prompted this settlement offer, providing eligible individuals the opportunity to receive compensation for their losses.
Affected individuals can claim up to $4,900 if they can provide documented evidence of their losses resulting from the breach. For those without proof of loss, a fixed payment of $100 is available. The deadline to submit claims is fast approaching, with February 25, 2025, being the final date to file.
The class-action settlement comes after the breach exposed a range of personal data, leaving affected individuals vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, and other forms of misuse. The settlement aims to provide financial relief to those impacted, as well as to compensate for the inconvenience and distress caused by the breach.
In addition to the claim deadline, a final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for March 3, 2025. During this hearing, a judge will review the settlement terms and determine whether they are fair and reasonable for all parties involved.
Victims who believe they are eligible for compensation are urged to act quickly to ensure their claims are submitted before the February 25 deadline. The settlement provides a rare opportunity for affected individuals to receive compensation for the damages incurred, offering some measure of justice in light of the breach.
As the final approval hearing approaches, the settlement stands as an important step in addressing the impacts of data breaches on individuals and reinforcing the need for companies to prioritize data security in order to protect the personal information of their customers.
