Baum et al. v. Long Island Plastic Surgical Group, P.C.

A Settlement has been reached in several class action lawsuits against Long Island Plastic Surgical Group, P.C. (“LIPSG”) relating to the unauthorized access to LIPSG’s computer systems on or about January 4, 2024 (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). The computer systems affected by the Cybersecurity Incident contained sensitive Personal Information belonging to its current and former patients. Impacted information may have included patients’ full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, telephone numbers, driver’s license numbers, medical information and health insurance information, clinical photographs of patients, other protected health information, financial account information, and payment card information.

Under the Settlement, LIPSG has agreed to establish a $2,600,000.00 Settlement Fund to pay (1) the Settlement Class Member claims, (2) Administration and Notice Costs; (3) Fee Award and Expenses, and (4) Service Awards. In addition, LIPSG has undertaken certain remedial measures for enhanced security measures.

Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you do or do not act.
