Class Action Settlement Announced for Docketwise Data Incident
A class action lawsuit against Docketwise, related to a data incident in October 2025 where cybercriminals accessed the credentials of one of its third-party partner repositories and potentially obtained personally identifiable information (PII) from current or former customers, has reached a settlement. The company denies any wrongdoing but will provide benefits if approved by the court. Settlement Class Members may receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for documented out-of-pocket losses and lost time, an alternative cash payment of $50, or two years of credit monitoring. To claim these benefits, individuals must submit a form by October 15, 2026. The settlement also includes provisions for notice expenses, attorney fees up to $300,000, and service awards. Class members who do not opt out will be legally bound by the terms of the agreement. A final approval hearing is pending but has yet to be scheduled.
