Patients Sue Healthcare Corporations Over Data Breaches, Sharing of Personal Information

Multiple class action lawsuits have been filed against large healthcare corporations for exposing or leaking patients' personally identifiable information and protected health information. The suits seek to hold healthcare companies accountable for data breaches, with cases filed in both state and federal courts.

Why it matters: Healthcare providers and their legal counsel face litigation risk from patient data breaches; practitioners should review incident response and data handling practices to identify and remediate similar exposure vectors.
