If You Were Sent a Notice of Data Breach from Smith Transport, You Could Get Benefits from a Class Action Settlement.
Please read this website carefully and completely.
The settlement provides benefits to settle claims relating to a Data Breach that occurred on or around February 12, 2022, when Smith Transport (“Defendant”) discovered that it had experienced a network disruption resulting in the potential disclosure of personally identifiable information of approximately 16,000 individuals. The information varied from person to person but for some persons could have included names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, drivers’ licenses or other state identification card numbers. Defendant denies all liability but has entered into a proposed settlement to resolve the claims. The settlement benefits include:
Defendant will provide the option to enroll in three years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection services (including $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance), at no cost.
Defendant will pay valid claims submitted for documented ordinary expenses (up to $400), lost time (up to 4 hours at $20/hour), and documented extraordinary losses (up to $4,000) for Class Members who were the victim of actual documented identity theft experienced related to the Data Breach.
You have the right to do nothing, submit a claim, object to the Settlement or any part of it, or opt out of the Settlement. If you do not opt out of the settlement, and final approval is granted by the Court, you will release any claims you have relating to the Data Breach asset forth in the settlement agreement.
Your legal rights are affected, so please read this website carefully.
