Motility Software Solutions Data Breach Settlement Claim Form Update

A federal judge has granted preliminary approval to a proposed class action settlement in In re Motility Data Breach Litigation, Case No. 3:25-cv-00330, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division at Dayton.

The settlement concerns claims related to a data incident allegedly affecting Motility Software Solutions, Inc., a dealer management software company. The preliminary approval order states that the settlement class consists of 760,797 settlement class members.

Reported settlement benefits include an estimated $75 cash payment without proof of losses or up to $5,000 for documented losses. The reported claim deadline is August 7, 2026.

The court’s preliminary approval order does not mean the court found Motility liable. It means the court preliminarily found the proposed settlement, notice program, settlement administrator, relief, and distribution process fair, reasonable, and adequate, subject to final review.

Is There a Motility Settlement Claim Form?

A claim form may be available through the official settlement website or mailed notice, but OpenClassActions.com has not independently verified a live public claim form from an indexed official settlement page as of this update.

The reported claim deadline is August 7, 2026. Class members should use the official settlement website or their settlement notice to confirm whether the claim form is active, what information is required, and whether they are eligible to request the estimated cash payment or documented loss reimbursement.

What Happened in the Motility Data Breach?

The original complaint alleges this case arose from Motility’s alleged failure to protect highly sensitive data of about 760,000 people.

According to the complaint, Motility discovered suspicious activity on August 19, 2025, took the impacted server offline, began an investigation with cybersecurity experts, and notified law enforcement. The complaint alleges Motility’s parent company, The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, disclosed the incident around September 12, 2025.

The complaint alleges cybercriminals accessed personally identifiable information, including at least names, birthdates, driver’s license numbers, and Social Security numbers. The complaint also alleges consumers may have provided information through dealer records, including contact information, financial information, and insurance information.

Who Is Included in the Motility Settlement?

The preliminary approval order conditionally certifies the following settlement class for settlement purposes:

All individuals residing in the United States who were impacted by the Data Incident.

The order excludes Motility officers and directors, governmental entities, the judge assigned to the action, the judge’s immediate family, court staff, and any settlement class member who timely and properly opts out of the settlement.

How Much Can You Claim?

Reported settlement benefits include two main claim paths:

• Estimated $75 no-proof cash payment option
• Up to $5,000 for documented losses

The no-proof cash payment is described as estimated because final payment amounts can depend on the number of valid claims, settlement administration costs, court-approved deductions, and the settlement terms.

Class members seeking documented loss reimbursement should expect to provide records showing eligible losses connected to the data incident. Settlement administrators commonly review documentation before approving higher-tier data breach claims.

What Is the Motility Settlement Claim Deadline?

The reported Motility data breach settlement claim deadline is August 7, 2026.

Class members who want payment generally must submit a valid claim by the deadline. People who do nothing may receive no settlement payment and may still be bound by the settlement if the court grants final approval.

Who Is the Settlement Administrator?

The preliminary approval order appoints Epiq Class Action & Claim Solutions LLC as the settlement administrator.

The court also approved the proposed notice program and settlement website, subject to final approval. Class members should use the official settlement website or notice materials to confirm eligibility, file a claim, opt out, or object.

Who Are the Class Representatives?

For settlement purposes only, the court appointed the following plaintiffs as class representatives:

• G. Scott Lockwood
• Heather Reynicke
• Christopher Santora
• Donna Mathews
• John Langan
• Nancy Langan
• Stephen Duesler
• Patrick Hubley
• Peggy L. Roller

The order states class representatives may request service awards of up to $2,000 each, subject to court approval.

What Did the Lawsuit Allege?

The complaint alleged Motility failed to maintain reasonable cybersecurity safeguards and failed to adequately protect personal information. It also alleged cybercriminals accessed sensitive data and that impacted individuals face increased risk of identity theft and fraud.

The complaint asserted claims including negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and declaratory judgment. The settlement resolves claims for settlement purposes only and does not mean Motility admitted wrongdoing.

What Happens Next?

The court still must decide whether to grant final approval. At final approval, the court will review whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate, whether the notice program and claims process should be approved, and whether requested attorneys’ fees, expenses, and service awards should be awarded.

The preliminary approval order states class counsel may request attorneys’ fees of up to one-third of the settlement fund plus litigation expenses, subject to court review.
