$3.3M Absolute Dental data breach class action settlement

Individuals whose personal information was compromised in the Absolute Dental data breach between February 19, 2025, and March 5, 2025, and who received a data breach notification from Absolute Dental Group are eligible.

Claimants must provide documentation of unreimbursed losses, such as bank statements, invoices, or receipts.

About This Settlement

Absolute Dental Group LLC agreed to a $3.3 million class action settlement to resolve claims that it failed to adequately protect patient information from a 2025 cyberattack. According to the lawsuit, hackers gained unauthorized access to Absolute Dental's systems between February 19, 2025, and March 5, 2025, potentially exposing sensitive personal data including Social Security numbers and protected health information. Absolute Dental, which operates dental practices in Nevada, California, and Texas, has not admitted any wrongdoing as part of this settlement.

The class action lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, alleges that Absolute Dental failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures that could have prevented the breach. As a result of the incident, affected patients may have had their personal and medical information exposed to unauthorized parties. The $3.3 million settlement fund is intended to compensate individuals who were notified that their data may have been compromised.

Who Qualifies

You may be eligible to participate in this settlement if you meet the following criteria:

• Your personal information was potentially compromised in the Absolute Dental data breach that occurred between February 19, 2025, and March 5, 2025
• You received a data breach notification from Absolute Dental Group following the incident
• You are located anywhere in the United States (California residents may be eligible for additional compensation)

What You May Receive

According to the settlement terms, class members may be eligible to receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses resulting from the data breach. Qualifying losses may include bank fees, communication charges, travel expenses, credit-related costs, and damages related to identity theft. To claim documented losses, you will need to submit supporting documentation such as bank statements, invoices, or receipts showing unreimbursed expenses tied to the breach.

Class members who do not have documented losses — or who choose not to submit them — may still be eligible for a one-time pro-rata cash payment from the remaining settlement fund. The exact amount of this payment will depend on the total number of valid claims submitted and the amount left in the fund after documented loss payments are distributed. California residents may receive double the standard cash payment under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), making their potential payout higher than that of non-California class members.
