Exposed Data — What's at Risk

Identity Theftcritical risk

Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium risk

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

SIM Swap & Vishingmedium risk

Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.


Check Your Eligibility

Under the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, you may have a legal claim if:

  • You received a written data breach notification letter from Thompson & Horton LLP
  • You are or were a customer, patient, or employee of Thompson & Horton LLP
  • Your information was held by Thompson & Horton LLP in TX
  • Your bank or payment card data was potentially exposed

Rights Under the Law

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.

Credit Monitoring & Identity Restoration

Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.

Financial Losses & Fraudulent Charges

Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.

Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

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 Thompson & Horton LLP?

No. Under Texas Identity Theft Enforcement 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.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.

My financial account data was exposed. Can the bank recover my losses?

Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.

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 Thompson & Horton LLP offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Thompson & Horton LLP 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 Thompson & Horton LLP during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
