LifeBridge Health Data Breach Settlement: $100 Cash or Up to $5,000 for Documented Losses
By Steve Levine
Published: February 17, 2026
Settlement Fund: $575,000
Payout: $100 flat cash (no proof needed) or up to $5,000 for documented losses — claim form required
Claim Deadline: February 28, 2026
If you received a letter from LifeBridge Health about a data breach discovered in November 2024, that letter is real and a class action settlement is offering you money. You can get approximately $100 in cash with no proof required, or up to $5,000 if you have documented losses from the breach. But you must file a claim — if you do nothing, you get nothing.
The deadline to file is February 28, 2026.
What Happened?
On or around November 12, 2024, LifeBridge Health discovered that an unauthorized user had gained access to its computer systems. The intruder accessed files that contained the private information of patients and other individuals connected to the healthcare system.The compromised data may have included full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and medical treatment and health insurance information.
LifeBridge Health denies any wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right. The two sides agreed to settle the lawsuit.
What Is LifeBridge Health?
LifeBridge Health is a major healthcare system based in Baltimore, Maryland. It operates several hospitals and medical facilities in the Baltimore area, including Sinai Hospital, Northwest Hospital, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital, Grace Medical Center (formerly Bon Secours Hospital), and Carroll Hospital. If you were a patient at any of these facilities, or if your information was otherwise in LifeBridge Health's systems (as an employee, for example), your data may have been exposed.Who Qualifies?
You qualify if your private information was potentially compromised in the November 2024 data incident. The simplest way to know: if you received a notice letter from LifeBridge Health about the 2024 breach, you are a confirmed class member.If you're not sure whether you qualify, contact the settlement administrator at LifeBridgeDataSettlement@cptgroup.com or visit LifeBridgeDataSettlement.com.
What Can You Get?
The settlement fund is $575,000. After deducting attorneys' fees, costs, administration expenses, and a service award, the remaining money (the "net settlement fund") is divided among class members who file valid claims. There are two cash options, and you can receive both if applicable.Cash Payment A — Documented Losses (up to $5,000). If you incurred out-of-pocket expenses or suffered financial losses because of the data breach, you can claim up to $5,000. You need to provide reasonable documentation (receipts, bank statements, correspondence, etc.) showing the losses were caused by the breach and haven't already been reimbursed. Documented loss claims are paid first from the settlement fund.
Cash Payment B — Flat Cash ($100, no proof needed). After all documented loss claims are paid, the remaining net settlement fund is divided equally among all valid claimants. Each share is nominally valued at $100. If fewer people file claims, your share could be higher. If more people file, it could be lower. No documentation is required — just file the claim form.
Everyone who files a valid claim gets Cash Payment B. If you also have documented losses, you get both A and B.
