Lighting Data Breach Case

The lawsuit alleges that as the result of a cyberattack by an unauthorized third party to certain computer systems of Minka Lighting (“Minka”), personal information and protected health information stored by Minka, including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, Social Security or individual tax information and other information may have been compromised on or about December 16, 2021 and June 27, 2022 (the “Incident”). Minka maintains that it had meritorious defenses, and it was prepared to vigorously defend the lawsuit but encourages all persons who qualify as members of the Settlement Class to participate in the Settlement. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that Minka has violated any laws.

If your information was potentially compromised in the Incident, you are a Settlement Class Member.

Any Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for reimbursement for documented Economic Losses related to the Incident that have not been reimbursed by other third parties, up to an aggregate total of $7,500.00 per Settlement Class Member. Economic Losses shall be deemed fairly traceable to the Data Breach if (i) the alleged wrongdoing occurred in 2021 or thereafter, (ii) the Settlement Class Member executes a statement signed under penalty of perjury indicating that the Economic Losses claimed are fairly traceable to the Incident, (iii) the alleged wrongdoing involved misuse of the type of personal information inadvertently disclosed in the Incident (i.e., name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, medical treatment information, health insurance information, etc.), and (iv) the Settlement Administrator determines by a preponderance of evidence that it is fairly traceable to the Incident.

Any Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for Other Losses fairly traceable to the Data Breach, currently estimated to be $600 per Settlement Class Member if there is a 10% claims-rate.
