Numotion Data Breach Settlement: How to Claim Up to $15,000
Numotion, a company that provides mobility equipment, has agreed to a $4 million settlement following two major security leaks that occurred in March and September 2024.
The settlement aims to compensate customers whose personal information was put at risk. Here is everything you need to know about who is eligible and how to claim your Share.
Who is Eligible?
You can file a claim if you received an official notice from Numotion informing you that your personal data was compromised during the 2024 breaches.
What Benefits Can You Receive?
The settlement offers several types of compensation depending on how the breach affected you:
- Expense Reimbursement: If you spent money dealing with identity theft—such as hiring legal help or paying for account recovery services—you can claim up to $15,000 in refunds. You must provide receipts or invoices to prove these costs.
- Cash Payments: Even if you didn’t lose money directly, you may be eligible for a smaller cash payment. The exact amount will depend on how many people file successful claims.
- Credit & Medical Monitoring: All affected individuals are eligible for two years of free credit monitoring. If your Social Security number was part of the leak, you will also receive two years of specialized medical identity monitoring.
Important Deadlines
While a final court hearing to officially approve the deal is set for April 2, you must act much sooner to receive your money.
- Claim Deadline: You must submit your claim form by Wednesday, March 18.
- Requirements: To get a refund for expenses, you must attach proof of payment, such as receipts or bank statements showing the financial impact of the breach.
Why Is This Happening?
The settlement comes after a class-action lawsuit accused Numotion of failing to use strong enough security measures to protect patient data.
By paying the $4 million, Numotion avoids a long and expensive trial. However, the company has stated that this settlement is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing.
