Apex Data Incident

A court authorized the Notice because Settlement Class Members have the right to know about the Settlement of this class action lawsuit and about their rights and options before the Court decides whether to grant final approval to the Settlement. The Notice was sent to potential Settlement Class Members explaining the lawsuit, the Settlement, their legal rights, what Settlement Class Member Benefits are available, who is eligible for the Settlement Class Member Benefits, and how to get them.

The Honorable Martin J. Bidwill of the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, is overseeing this class action. The lawsuit is known Kandice Williams et al. v. Apex Global Solutions, Inc., Case No. CACE-25-016523 (“lawsuit”). The individuals who filed this lawsuit are called the “Plaintiffs” and/or “Class Representatives,” and the company sued, Apex Global Solutions, Inc., is called the “Defendant.”

The Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against Defendant on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated related to a cybersecurity incident (“Data Incident”) involving Defendant and resulting in the unauthorized access to or acquisition of Settlement Class Members’ Private Information between June 18, 2024, and July 2, 2024. “Private Information” means the information collected by Defendant from its customers related to its customers’ patients, which may include some combination of names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, drivers’ license numbers, financial account information, and health information such as health provider names and treatment information. Defendant denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not made any determination of any wrongdoing by Defendant or that any law has been violated. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendant have agreed to a settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the lawsuit.

The Plaintiffs and Defendant do not agree about the legal claims made in this lawsuit. The lawsuit has not gone to trial, and the Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or Defendant. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendant have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The Class Representatives, Defendant, and their lawyers believe the Settlement is best for the Settlement Class because of the Settlement Class Member Benefits available and the risks and uncertainty associated with continuing the lawsuit.

In a class action, one or more people (called class representatives) sue on behalf of all people who have similar legal claims. Together, all these people are called a class or class members. One court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those class members who timely exclude themselves from (opt out of) the settlement class.

You are included in the Settlement Class if you are a living individual residing in the United States who was sent notice by Defendant that your Private Information may have been impacted in the Data Incident.

Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are (1) all persons who are directors, officers, and agents of Defendant; (2) governmental entities; and (3) the Judge assigned to the lawsuit, that Judge’s immediate family, and court staff.

If you are still not sure whether you are a Settlement Class Member, you may write to the Settlement Administrator at the following address:

If you are a Settlement Class Member, you can submit a Claim Form for the following Settlement Class Member Benefits:

Cash Payment for Documented Losses

You may submit a Claim Form with reasonable documentation for losses related to fraud and/or identity theft as a result of the Data Incident for up to $3,500 per Settlement Class Member. Examples of reasonable documentation include (but are not limited to) telephone records, correspondence (including emails), or receipts. Personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits from the Settlement Class Member do not constitute reasonable documentation but may be included to provide clarification, context, or support for other submitted reasonable documentation. You will not be reimbursed for expenses if you have been reimbursed for the same expenses by another source, including compensation provided in connection with any credit monitoring and identity protection product or through a financial institution’s consumer fraud policies. If you do not submit reasonable documentation supporting a loss, or if your Claim Form is invalid as determined by the Settlement Administrator, and you do not cure your Claim Form, your Claim Form will be rejected.

Medical Data Monitoring

In addition to the Cash Payment for Documented Losses, you may also submit a Claim Form to receive three years of free Medical Data Monitoring.
