Were You A Victim Of The Rady Children's Hospital Breach? You Could Receive Compensation

On February 21, 2020, Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego reported the exposure of confidential patient data due to unauthorized access via an Internet portal from June 20, 2019 to January 3, 2020. The persons affected included those who were radiology patients at Rady’s Children’s Hospital – San Diego. 

According to Rady’s internal investigation, an unauthorized person accessed radiology-related patient information, which included patient name, gender, the type and date of imaging studies, and in some cases, also included the patient’s date of birth, medical record number, description of the imaging study, and/or the referring physician’s name.

If you received a letter from Rady informing you that your personal information was compromised in this breach, you could receive compensation.
