Doctors Imaging Group Data Breach Class Action Settlement

What Changed Recently?

A court-authorized summary notice published October 28, 2026 announced a proposed class action settlement with Doctors Imaging Group, LLC and opened the claim process. The case is Jessica Marcantel, et al. v. Doctors Imaging Group, LLC, Case No. 01-2025-CA-002937, in the Circuit Court of Alachua County, Florida.

According to the notice, a Data Incident between November 5 and November 11, 2024 resulted in unauthorized access to Private Information that Doctors Imaging Group collected. The notice defines that information to include name, address, date of birth, admission date, financial account number and type, patient account number, medical record number, health insurance information, medical treatment information, medical claim information and Social Security number. Doctors Imaging Group denies the allegations in the lawsuit and agreed to settle without any admission or finding of liability.

Who Qualifies?

The Settlement Class covers every living individual residing in the United States whose Private Information may have been impacted in the Data Incident. The class is nationwide; it is not limited to Florida residents. Class members who do not opt out are bound by the settlement whether or not they file a claim.

How Much Can You Get?

The notice describes two benefits, listed together on the same claim:

• Cash payment for documented losses: reimbursement of up to $2,500 for reasonable documented losses fairly traceable to the Data Incident. Documentation of the losses must be submitted with the claim.
• Medical data monitoring: two years of free medical data monitoring.

The summary notice does not list a flat cash payment available without documentation, a separate payment for lost time, or a total settlement fund, and it does not describe any pro rata adjustment. On the notice’s terms, a class member without documented losses can still claim the medical data monitoring. The Long Form Notice on the settlement website carries the complete terms.

Separately from class members' benefits, Class Counsel will ask the court for attorneys' fees and costs of up to $350,000, and the class representatives will ask for service awards of $1,000 each. The court decides those requests at the Final Approval Hearing.

What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?

The cash benefit requires documentation: the notice states that a claimant must provide documentation of losses with the claim, and only reasonable documented losses fairly traceable to the Data Incident qualify. The medical data monitoring benefit does not depend on documented losses.

The official settlement website did not respond to an automated request on October 28, 2026, so whether the online claim form asks for a Notice ID, Class Member ID or similar code from the notice could not be confirmed. Many data breach settlement portals require one, and a class member who received a notice may need the identifier printed on it to file online.

What Is the Deadline?

Claims must be submitted online or postmarked by January 26, 2027. Requests to opt out of the settlement must be postmarked by December 28, 2026, and objections are due by December 28, 2026. An opt-out is available only to class members who do not want to be part of the Settlement Class; a class member who opts out cannot also object. The Long Form Notice on the settlement website explains how to opt out or object.
