SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Medical
information is considered to be among the most personal and private
of information under California
law," says Keller Grover LLP attorney Eric
A. Grover. "For that reason, healthcare providers are
required to give patients timely notice of data breaches and the
negligent release and disclosure of medical information can, under
certain circumstances, give rise to claims by affected individuals
for money damages."
Similar medical data breaches involving the failure to properly
secure medical information have given rise to class action
lawsuits. Recently, for example, St. Joseph Health Systems
finalized a class action lawsuit settlement valued at over
$30 million involving St. Joseph's
alleged failure to properly secure its network, allowing patient
information to become publicly accessible on the internet.

Technologies data breach or are a California resident that has been affected by
the data breach and have questions, contact Keller Grover's
