Federal & State Protections

Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions

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.

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.

Applicable State Law

This breach was reported under the Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against The Hertz Corporation, including the Hertz Dollar and Thrifty Brands?

No. Under Delaware Online Privacy and 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 The Hertz Corporation, including the Hertz Dollar and Thrifty Brands offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from The Hertz Corporation, including the Hertz Dollar and Thrifty Brands 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 The Hertz Corporation, including the Hertz Dollar and Thrifty Brands during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter.
