What happened
In February 2025, Bell Ambulance, Inc. suffered a targeted cyberattack on its computer systems. The attackers accessed files containing the private information of patients, employees, and others, including full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, financial account information, medical treatment and diagnosis records, medical record numbers, health insurance information, full-face photographs, and other protected health information. Plaintiffs filed suit alleging that Bell Ambulance failed to implement adequate data security measures to protect this sensitive information.
Bell Ambulance denies the allegations and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and time of continued litigation.

You can claim either Cash Payment A (up to $5,000 for documented out-of-pocket losses caused by the data incident, with supporting receipts or documentation) or Cash Payment B (a no-proof pro rata payment estimated at $90, which may be higher or lower depending on total valid claims filed).

Where the money is going
This is a non-reversionary common fund. Attorneys' fees (up to 33.33%), service awards ($2,500 per class representative), and notice and administration costs come out of the $2 million before payments are calculated for class members.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the July 14, 2026 Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. The Cash Payment B pro rata amount of approximately $90 per claimant will vary based on the total number of valid claims filed.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
You have two options. Cash Payment A pays up to $5,000 if you submit receipts or documentation proving out-of-pocket losses caused by the data breach (such as identity theft costs, credit monitoring fees, or ID replacement expenses). Cash Payment B is a simpler no-proof option estimated at $90, though the final amount may be higher or lower depending on how many people file valid claims. You can only choose one cash option per claim.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
Cash Payment B (estimated $90) requires no documentation at all. Cash Payment A (up to $5,000) requires receipts or other documentation showing your actual out-of-pocket losses were caused by the Bell Ambulance data incident. Personal declarations or affidavits alone are not enough for Cash Payment A, though they may be submitted alongside other documentation.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
Even if you did not receive a notice, you may still be a class member if your private information was accessed in the February 2025 Bell Ambulance data incident. Contact the Settlement Administrator at 1-844-804-2567 or info@BellDataIncidentSettlement.com to confirm your eligibility and request a Claim Form.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
If you remain in the settlement class and do not opt out, you give up the right to sue Bell Ambulance separately over the claims resolved by this settlement. To preserve your right to sue independently, you must mail an opt-out request postmarked by June 15, 2026, to: Bell Ambulance Data Incident Settlement, ATTN: Exclusion Request, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.
When will payments be sent out?
The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on July 14, 2026. If the settlement is approved and no appeals are filed, payments are expected to be distributed sometime after that date. Appeals can extend the timeline by a year or more. Once you submit your claim, no further action is required.
