Court of Common Pleas for the Ninth Judicial Circuit of South Carolina 2021-CP-10-01754
NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
If You Were Notified Of A Data Incident Involving Roper St. Francis Healthcare In January 2021, You May Be Eligible For Benefits From A Class Action Settlement.
This is not a solicitation from a lawyer, junk mail, or an advertisement. A Court authorized this Notice.
A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action, titled Prevost et al. v. Roper St. Francis Healthcare, C.A. No. 2021-CP-10-01754 (“Action”), filed in the State of South Carolina, County of Charleston, Court of Common Pleas, Ninth Judicial Court.
This Action arises out of an October 2020 phishing incident, involving Roper (the “Data Incident”). Plaintiffs allege that the Data Incident potentially resulted in unauthorized access by a third party to three of Roper’s employees’ email accounts, which may have included the personally identifiable information (“PII”) and protected health information (“PHI”) of approximately 190,000 individuals (the “Data Incident”). Roper disagrees with Plaintiffs’ claims and denies any wrongdoing.
The Settlement Class consists of those who were notified that their PII and/or PHI may have been exposed to unauthorized third parties as a result of the Data Incident experienced by Roper on or around October 2020.
You are included in this Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if you were notified that your PII/PHI may have been impacted in the Data Incident.
Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you do or do not act. The Court in charge of this case must still decide whether to approve the Settlement, including Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses and incentive awards for the Class Representatives. No Settlement benefits will be provided until the Court approves the Settlement, and it becomes Final.
