Notice to current and former patients of Marlboro-Chesterfield Pathology, P.C.: You could receive benefits from a class action settlement.
A superior court authorized this Settlement Website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
The Marlboro-Chesterfield Pathology, P.C. (the “Defendant” or “MCP”) has agreed to pay either up to $1,000 (one thousand dollars) per Settlement Class Member for proven monetary losses arising from financial fraud or identity theft or $10 (ten dollars) in the alternative to receiving compensation for Documented Ordinary and Documented Extraordinary Losses for Settlement Class Members who submit a Claim because their Social Security Number was compromised in the Data Incident; to provide the opportunity for Settlement Class Members to enroll in a one-year membership of 3B Credit Monitoring with at least $1,000,000 (one million dollars) in fraud protection; and to pay up to $100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars) in attorneys’ fees and costs to resolve the claims of a Settlement Class of patients whose personally identifiable information or protected health information (“PII/PHI”) was maintained on Defendant’s systems that were compromised as a result of the breach announced by Defendant on or around May 22, 2025.
The Settlement resolves a class action lawsuit alleging that MCP failed to properly secure and safeguard sensitive and confidential PII/PHI, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and PHI of its current and former patients. MCP denies any and all alleged wrongdoing.
The Settlement avoids the costs and risks of continuing the lawsuit (such as going to trial, losing, and getting nothing); pays money to patients like you; and releases your claims against MCP.
