Defendant denies any allegation of wrongdoing. You are included in the Settlement as a “Settlement Class Member” if you have been identified as a person whose Personally Identifiable Information may have been accessed or exposed during the Security Incident. Under the Settlement, UBT will pay $2,389,976.00 into a Settlement Fund which will be used to pay all valid claims made by Settlement Class Members, notice and administration costs, service award, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Settlement Class Members may file a claim.
How Class Action Settlements Work?
Class action lawsuits serve incredibly important purposes. For one, they allow people to address corporate misconduct even when their individual recovery is relatively small as many class actions involve disputes over transactions involving amounts that ordinarily would not result in litigation (for instance, a dispute over the label on a $7.00 grocery item). But even though the amount involved is fairly modest, when that purchase price is combined on behalf of all persons who purchased the product in question, the case can then be appropriately litigated. Allowing a group of people to aggregate their claims when they have experienced the same or similar harm holds corporations accountable for misconduct that affects many, whether it’s a deceptive business practice, a defective product, a data breach, or unlawful employment policy.
Oftentimes these class action lawsuits result in settlements, which may include compensation for eligible people (the class members) as well as required changes in the defendant’s practices. While not every class member is necessarily entitled to the same amount of compensation, the goal is to obtain relief that is both meaningful and fair to affected persons.
Why We’re Tracking These Class Action Cases and Settlements
Far too often, companies assume that consumers won’t speak up – especially when the financial harm appears small on a “per person” level. But when that harm is repeated across hundreds or thousands of people, it adds up. Class action lawsuits make it possible to challenge that harm collectively and secure justice that might otherwise be out of reach.
At Almeida Law Group, we don’t believe in “too small to matter.” Our class action litigation team investigates patterns of corporate wrongdoing, evaluates their legal impact, and files cases when companies violate consumer trust, ignore privacy standards, or breach regulatory obligations. While no one (ourselves included) thinks that lawsuits for the sake of lawsuits is ever the answer, class action lawsuits, in addition to making injured consumers whole, are an important deterrent in that the threat or prospect of being sued often forces companies to proactively comply with the law.
