File your valid claim now to receive your share of this data breach settlement. In an age of digitization, the world has become increasingly more connected than ever before. However, it has also led to the rise in cybercrime, meaning that entities responsible for the storage of sensitive client data need to take advanced precautions to ensure that this information is not compromised by unauthorized third-party access, running the risk of being held liable to compensate clients whose information was leaked.
Class members can claim compensation for a data breach
Data breach settlements between class members and major corporations are becoming increasingly more common as cybercrime becomes more sophisticated. While cyber-protection services have also continued to advance, cybercriminals continue to find other methods to break through these interventions and steal sensitive client information.
When this occurs, it often results in affected users filing a class action lawsuit against the entity that held their information. Class action lawsuits are pursued by individuals seeking compensation, as a favorable outcome for the plaintiff is more likely when they pursue collective legal justice by combining resources and calling increased attention to a major data breach. While companies do not usually admit to any wrongdoing, they will settle a class action lawsuit by compensating class members, generally for loss of time and expenses associated with the data breach.

When these large class action lawsuits are pursued for a favorable data breach settlement outcome, they generally also involve a commitment from the defendant to change its policies in order to ensure that such a data breach will not occur again. Because of this, class action lawsuits ensure that a particular company is held accountable for its actions and that increased attention is provided regarding the necessary precautions these companies must take to protect their client data.
Recently, Octapharma Plasma has agreed to a $2.55 million data breach settlement over allegations that the plasma donation center failed to take the necessary precautions to protect client data from being compromised in a data breach in 2024.
Eligible class members who can claim from the data breach settlement are those who were informed in April 2024 that their sensitive information may have been compromised. Settlement payouts are as follows for eligible class members:
- All class members are eligible to receive an amount up to $5,000 for losses related to the data breach that can be documented.
- Class members who did not incur any losses can receive a flat payment of $100.
- All class members will receive three years of credit monitoring services free of charge.
- Plaintiffs who live in California will receive an additional $50.
File your valid claim before this deadline
To receive your share of the settlement, eligible class members must submit a valid claim before November 14, 2025. The final approval hearing is scheduled for December 4, 2025. For litigations such as these, a valid claim recording documented losses includes bank and credit card statements, receipts, bills, and invoices.
It is important to note that while the $5,000 compensation appears to be high, these payments are not intended to be profitable for class members. Rather, they seek to cover the costs plaintiffs had to pay as a result of the data breach. Large class action lawsuits often receive a reputation that they result in high payments for class members; however, these payments rarely provide excess funds for compensated plaintiffs.
Additionally, not all class action lawsuits involving client data result in large compensation payments for damages. Sometimes, compensation is intended to acknowledge how a company violated certain consumer protection laws. While the data may not have been compromised, companies may have used this data in ways which was not stipulated or made clear to clients. These types of settlements pertain more to accountability and the importance of company transparency.
Disclaimer: You should not submit false or inflated claims under penalty of perjury, as class‑action claim forms historically required declarations signed “under penalty of perjury” to ensure authenticity. Submitting a fraudulent claim not only carries legal exposure—including potential civil and criminal sanctions—but also harms other eligible class members by diluting the available settlement pool.
