What Changed Recently?
Lakeside Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, P.L.L.C., a pediatric practice in northern Idaho, agreed to settle In re Lakeside Pediatric Data Breach Litigation, No. CV-28-26-1876, in the District Court for Kootenai County, Idaho. The case consolidates several suits filed on behalf of patients, most of them by parents on behalf of their children. The court preliminarily approved the settlement, and the claim period is now open.The lawsuit alleges that in October 2024 a criminal third party gained unauthorized access to Lakeside Pediatric’s network and that files containing private information were potentially accessed. According to the court-approved notice, the files may have included names, dates of birth, driver’s license or state ID numbers, medical record numbers, diagnosis and condition information, lab results, medication information, health care claims and clinical or treatment information, and, for a limited number of people, Social Security numbers. Lakeside Pediatric denies all claims and liability, the court has not decided who is right, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
Who Qualifies?
The class is all living individuals residing in the United States who were sent notice, including notice of this settlement, that their private information may have been involved in the data incident. Excluded are Lakeside Pediatric and its officers and directors, anyone who opts out, the court and its staff, governmental entities, and anyone found guilty of a crime connected to the incident.How Much Can You Get?
Class members choose one cash option:- Cash payment for documented losses: up to $2,500 for out-of-pocket losses traceable to the incident between October 15, 2024 and January 28, 2027, such as identity theft or fraud losses, fees for credit reports, monitoring or credit freezes, the cost of replacing IDs and postage. A documented-loss claim that is rejected and not cured becomes a pro rata claim.
- Pro rata cash payment: an equal share of what remains of the $35,000 Lakeside Pediatric is paying for cash benefits after valid documented-loss claims are paid. No proof or explanation is needed. The amount will not be known until all claims are in.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
The online claim form opens only with the LoginID and PIN printed on the notice the settlement administrator sent, so OCA classifies this settlement as requiring an ID from the notice. The pro rata payment needs no documents. Documented losses need proof, such as bank statements or receipts; notes a claimant writes can support that proof but are not enough on their own.What Is the Deadline?
