Thompson Coburn LLP Data Breach Settlement
What happened
A May 2024 data incident at law firm Thompson Coburn compromised private information including names, dates of birth, health information, and ID numbers. The firm agreed to a settlement with a $6 million common fund plus up to $1.5 million in additional benefits.
Who qualifies
People whose private information was compromised in the May 2024 Thompson Coburn data incident (generally those who received a breach notice with a Login ID/PIN).
How much you could get
Estimated $150 pro rata cash payment (could be higher or lower), OR up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses incurred May 28, 2024 - July 23, 2026; plus 3 years of medical data monitoring with $1M identity theft insurance
Rule of thumb: individual payouts shrink as more people file. Funds first pay attorneys' fees and costs (typically 25–35%), then split the rest among valid claims.
