TIME is almost up for victims of a major Florida medical data breach to cash in on a massive settlement worth more than $1.4million.

Coastal Orthopedics & Sports Medicine has agreed to the payout to settle claims it failed to prevent a June 2023 cyberattack.

The leak exposed sensitive patient information, including Social Security numbers.

The orthopedic practice, which offers joint replacement, sports medicine, and physical therapy, has not admitted any wrongdoing but will compensate eligible patients.

Those affected can get up to $10,000 for documented monetary losses tied to the breach.

Covered expenses range from fraudulent charges and un-reimbursed bank fees to credit monitoring costs and communication expenses.

Class members also get two years of free credit monitoring, including $1million in fraud and ID theft insurance, plus medical information monitoring.

On top of that, there’s a cash payment, with biggest checks for those whose Social Security numbers were compromised.

To qualify, you must be someone whose private information may have been accessed or acquired by an unauthorized party during the June 2023 breach.

This means that if your personal data was part of the stolen records, you could be entitled to money and free monitoring services.

To get your hands on the cash, you will need to provide proof of your losses.

This could include receipts, bank statements, credit card statements, invoices, bills, tax documents, police reports, or any other relevant records that show you suffered expenses as a direct result of the breach.

But the clock is ticking. The last day to file a claim form is August 13, 2025.

That date is also the deadline to exclude yourself from the settlement if you want to pursue your own legal action.

Those wishing to object to the terms of the deal must have done so by July 14, 2025, as the final approval hearing was set for July 28, 2025.

To get your share, visit CoastalOrthopedicsSettlement.com and submit your claim before the August deadline.

Other payouts

It’s not just Coastal Orthopedics patients cashing in.

Other big-name companies are also paying out huge sums to settle privacy lawsuits.

AT&T customers have until November 18, 2025 to claim up to $5,000 after two separate data leaks compromised millions of accounts.

Hackers exposed sensitive information — including Social Security numbers — on the dark web, with one breach dating back to 2019 and another revealing call log data from nearly all customers.

The telecom giant is shelling out $177 million to make it right, despite denying any wrongdoing.

And in a case that’s a little more old-school, vending machine shoppers have until November 14, 2025 to snag up to $360 from a $6.94 million settlement with Compass Group USA (Canteen).

The company allegedly charged customers more than the price shown on its machines without warning — across more than two dozen states. No proof of overcharge is required to file.

What’s a class-action settlement?

Class action lawsuits offer groups of people, or ‘classes,’ a way to band together in court.

These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.

When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.

Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.

These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.

Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.
