What happened
The lawsuit concerns a targeted cyberattack on the systems of California Casualty Indemnity Exchange, doing business as California Casualty Group, which California Casualty discovered in September 2025. According to the settlement website, the information potentially involved includes names, medical information, taxpayer ID numbers, driver's license or state ID numbers, health insurance information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, and financial account or payment card numbers.
California Casualty denies any wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of continued litigation. This is a claims-made settlement, so there is no fixed settlement fund. California Casualty will separately pay any attorneys' fees, litigation costs, and service awards the Court approves.

When will payments be sent out?
Settlement payments will be distributed if the Court grants final approval at the December 4, 2026 Final Approval Hearing and after any appeals are resolved. An appeal can add a year or more to that timeline.
