Court Dismisses Most Claims for Damages Arising From Large Data Breach
Thomson Reuters / EBIA Feb. 28, 2019
"Even when liability for a breach is clear, individuals may face an uphill battle to obtain a recovery. Most courts have held that HIPAA does not establish a private right of action for damages. In addition, many courts are skeptical of claims for damages unless individuals can show that their personal information was actually misused with adverse financial consequences." [Attias v. CareFirst, Inc., No. 15-882 (D. D.C. Jan. 20, 2019)]
