Federal Court Grants Final Approval to Superior Ambulance Data Breach Settlement

We are very pleased to report that, on April 2, 2025, Judge Matthew F. Kennelly of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granted final approval of a class action settlement in Spann v. Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service, Inc., No. 1:24-cv-04704.

Represented by court appointed co-lead counsel David S. Almeida of Almeida Law Group LLC and Gary M. Klinger of Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman PLLC, Plaintiffs sued Superior Ambulance over a May 2023 data breach that exposed sensitive patient data to unauthorized access.

The court-approved settlement provides monetary relief to class members whose data was compromised, covers administrative costs and attorneys’ fees, and includes service awards for the class representatives. The court found the settlement to be fair, adequate, and reasonable under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.

At ALG, we are proud to have played a key role in achieving this result. We remain committed to holding companies accountable for safeguarding sensitive information—and ensuring that data breaches do not go unanswered.
