🧤✋What is a Mass Action and Why is it Different?
A mass action lawsuit allows a group of individuals who have been harmed in similar ways by a defendant's actions—like the Change Healthcare data breach—to file their cases together.
However, unlike class action lawsuits, where plaintiffs are treated as a single entity, mass actions allow each plaintiff’s specific damages and experiences to be individually considered. This approach has significant benefits:
1️⃣ Tailored Compensation Based on Individual Losses
- Unlike class actions, where payouts are often minimal and uniform, a mass action allows compensation to reflect the distinct impact on each person. For data breach cases like this, the degree of harm can vary widely—some individuals may face minor inconveniences, while others may endure severe identity theft and financial losses. With a mass action, each individual’s unique circumstances are considered, potentially leading to more substantial and fair compensation.
2️⃣ Focused Legal Representation
- In a mass action, each plaintiff receives more personalized attention from legal professionals. This approach enables attorneys to develop a deeper understanding of each individual’s losses, making it more likely they can secure damages that truly reflect the extent of harm. For instance, the attorneys might focus on the specific costs you incurred due to the breach, such as credit monitoring, lost wages, or emotional distress, rather than treating everyone’s case in the same way.
3️⃣ Potential for Higher Compensation
- Because mass actions allow individual claims within a collective framework, they often lead to higher settlements. By documenting your specific damages, you may qualify for reimbursement that goes beyond what class actions typically offer. For example, if you had to pay out-of-pocket expenses due to compromised bank accounts or experienced financial setbacks, a mass action lawsuit increases the likelihood that these losses will be fully accounted for.
4️ Efficient, Streamlined Process
- Mass actions leverage the collective power of multiple cases, allowing attorneys to address common issues more efficiently. While each case is distinct, they share the benefits of pooled evidence and coordinated legal strategies. This streamlined process means faster case progress without sacrificing individual attention, so you may see results sooner than with a class action or individual lawsuit.
5️⃣Stronger Accountability for Change Healthcare
- By joining a mass action, you’re contributing to a larger collective effort to hold Change Healthcare accountable. This approach sends a powerful message: companies must be proactive in protecting sensitive information. When numerous individuals come together under a mass action, it can create more substantial pressure on the defendant, potentially resulting in policy changes and better protections against future breaches.
