A Settlement has been reached with Behavioral Health Resources (“BHR” or “Defendant”) in five related class action lawsuits. These cases center around the data security incident on BHR's computer systems that occurred in November of 2024 (the “Data lncident”). Certain files that contained personal information were potentially accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical information, biometric and/or genetic data, government-issued ID, taxpayer identification number (TIN), or health insurance information.
The related lawsuits filed in the Superior Court of Thurston County, Washington, are resolved by this Settlement. Together these lawsuits are called “Litigation.” BHR denies each and all claims and contentions alleged against it and denies all charges of wrongdoing or liability alleged (or which could be alleged) in the Litigation. BHR has agreed to a settlement to avoid the costs and risks associated with continuing this case. The parties have agreed to settle the Litigation (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
You are included in the Settlement Class if you are a Settlement Class Member. A Settlement Class Member is an individual who was notified by or on behalf of BHR that their information may have been impacted by the Data Incident.
Your rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Please read the Notice carefully and completely.
