Welcome to the Website for the Shahbaz, et al. v. Compex Legal Services, Inc., Proposed Class Action Settlement

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Compex Legal Services, Inc. (“Defendant”) regarding a cyber incident during which an unauthorized user gained access to Defendant’s systems and which was discovered by Defendant in April 2024 (the “Cyber Incident”).

Defendant has agreed to pay $872,500.00 (the “Settlement Fund”) to settle the claims in this case. All Class Members are eligible to receive (a) payment for documented losses up to $5,000.00 and (b) a Cash Payment of $100.00-$200.00, subject to a pro rata adjustment based upon the total number of Valid Claims.

Your Legal Rights and Options

Exclude Yourself

If you ask to be excluded, you will not receive a cash payment, but you may be able to file your own lawsuit against Defendant, for the same claims. This is the only option that leaves you the potential to file your own lawsuit against Defendant for the claims that are being resolved by the Settlement. To be effective, you must submit a request for exclusion by the deadline.

Object

If you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you may submit an objection telling the Court why you do not like the Settlement. If your objection is overruled, you will be bound by the Settlement.

These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Notice and FAQs.

The Court in charge of this case must still decide whether to approve the Settlement and the requested attorneys’ fees, Service Awards and costs. No Settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless and until the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final.
