PHILADELPHIA, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The following release was issued by RG/2 Claims Administration LLC, as Settlement Administrator.
A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit known as Leo Woytach, et al. v. Drug & Alcohol Treatment Services, Inc. ("DATS" or "Defendant") Case No.: 2025-CV-03681 (the "Action"), filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
The Action arises out of unauthorized access to the DATS' systems where certain protected health information ("PHI") belonging to DATS' patients was present at the time of the incident that occurred on or around October 5, 2024, and was announced by Defendant on or about December 5, 2024 (the "Data Breach").
