Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit: $6.5 Million for Lawyers, Buyers Get Free Monitoring

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury Cases in the News

A federal judge just approved $6.5 million in lawyer fees to the personal injury attorneys who brought a class action lawsuit over a massive data breach at TJX Cos., which is estimated to have involved 100 million accounts that were compromised by hackers.

It cost the retailer an estimated $256 million to resolve the data breach when it was thought that “only” 45 million credit card and debit accounts were compromised. The company will also provide nearly $200 million of free credit monitoring, among other services, to customers who settled the case.
