Federal & State Protections

Time & Inconvenience

Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.

Statutory Minimum Damages

Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.

Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.


Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Eric Buchanan & Associates, PLLC?

No. Under Maryland Personal Information Protection Act and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

Is it too late to file a claim?

Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.

What if Eric Buchanan & Associates, PLLC offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Eric Buchanan & Associates, PLLC does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Eric Buchanan & Associates, PLLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.

How long does a data breach class action lawsuit take?

Most data breach class actions resolve within 18 to 36 months, though timelines vary by court and complexity. Your participation requires minimal effort — typically completing a claim form. Our office handles all litigation; you are notified when a settlement is reached.
