Rights Under the Law — Compensation Available

01
Lost Time & Remediation Costs

The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.

02
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 New Era Enterprises, Inc., New Era Life Insurance Company of the Midwest, Philadelphia American Life Insurance Company and Life of America Insurance Company?

No. Under New Hampshire data breach notification law 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.

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?
