Privacy lawsuits are becoming more common as technology makes everything easier to access—often just a click away. But with that convenience comes risk. Unfortunately, some people and organizations take advantage of this, putting your personal information at risk. If only the consequences of privacy breach are trivial but no—this can lead to financial losses, not to mention severe emotional and mental stress.

Several parties can be held responsible for privacy violations, including:

  • Corporations that misuse or fail to protect your data.
  • Healthcare providers that don’t safeguard sensitive medical information as required by HIPAA.
  • Government agencies involved in data breaches or unauthorized surveillance.
  • Individuals who intentionally misuse or steal private information.

When the walls of privacy come crashing down, GGH Law will stand by your side to ensure justice is served—because your rights matter.

CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE?

History of Privacy Lawsuits

High-profile cases have involved major corporations, healthcare providers, and even government agencies accused of mishandling sensitive information.

For example:

  • Facebook has faced lawsuits for sharing user data without permission
  • Hospitals have also been sued for not protecting patient records as required by HIPAA. 
    • In 2015, Anthem Inc., a major health insurance company, faced a class-action lawsuit after a data breach exposed the personal information of nearly 80 million people.
    • In 2011, UCLA Health had to pay $865,500 after employees accessed celebrity medical records without permission.
    • In 2011, Massachusetts General Hospital settled for $1 million after an employee accidentally left documents with sensitive patient information on a subway.
    • In 2018, Cottage Health, a hospital chain in California, paid $3 million after exposing the records of over 62,500 patients due to poor IT security.

What can I recover?

While nothing can undo the harm caused by a commercial litigation issue, the law provides an opportunity to seek compensation for your losses through a commercial litigation lawsuit.

In a civil court, when a lawsuit is filed, the individual bringing the case (the plaintiff) may be entitled to damages if successful. These damages can be categorized into two types:

Economic Damages: These are the financial losses directly resulting from the injury, such as medical expenses, therapy bills, lost wages, or other out-of-pocket costs.

Non-Economic Damages: These include compensation for intangible losses, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, and diminished quality of life, both in the past and moving forward. These damages account for the physical and mental toll the injury has taken on the plaintiff's life.

If you’ve suffered injury due to someone else's negligence, it’s important to understand the potential for recovery and the types of damages you may be entitled to pursue in court.

You never pay out of pocket.
