Watson Clinic data breach: Patients may claim up to $75,000 in $10M settlement after dark web exposure
The $10 million settlement offers cash awards up to $75,000 for exposed sensitive images and up to $6,500 for extraordinary losses, pending court approval in March.
- On July 17, 2025, Watson Clinic LLC proposed a $10 million class settlement after a February 2024 data breach to avoid trial costs and benefit Settlement Class Members.
- An "unauthorized third-party" accessed Watson Clinic systems in February 2024, taking names, addresses, birthdates, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, financial account information, and medical images published on the "dark web".
- In addition to category awards, claimants can pursue reimbursements for out-of-pocket, extraordinary losses, and a $50 residual cash payment, with payments tiered by exposure category.
- Settlement Class Members should note that all claims must be postmarked or submitted by Monday, March 9, 2026, with a court hearing scheduled that day to decide approval.
- There are no estimates for when payments could be issued and approvals could be delayed by appeals or other court-required processes.
