$150 Million Experian Data Breach Settlement

As co-lead counsel in the Experian Data Breach Litigation, No. 8:15-cv-01592-AG-DFM (C.D. Cal.) (Hon. Andrew J. Guilford), which affected nearly 15 million class members, Ahdoot Wolfson achieved a settlement conservatively valued at over $150 million. Each class member is entitled to two years of additional premium credit monitoring and ID theft insurance (to begin whenever their current credit monitoring product, if any, expires) plus monetary relief (in the form of either documented losses or a default payment for non-documented claims). Experian is also providing robust injunctive relief. Judge Guilford praised counsel’s efforts and efficiency in achieving the settlement, commenting “You folks have truly done a great job, both sides. I commend you.”
