Navigation Tampa General Hospital faces class action lawsuits over data theft breach
A local attorney finds a nonprofit healthcare provider’s data theft breach that impacted 1.3 million patients and employees deeply concerning.
Three proposed federal class action lawsuits were filed against Tampa General Hospital in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging that Tampa General Hospital was negligent in securing patients’ sensitive health and personal identifiable information from cybercriminals.
“The heart of these lawsuits revolves around the claim that the healthcare provider was negligent in safeguarding the personal and health information of its patients and staff,” said Attorney Mike Schmidt.
