A $2.4 million class action settlement has been reached in connection with a data breach at Excelsior Orthopaedics and Buffalo Surgery Center. Individuals whose personal information was exposed in the incident may be eligible to file a claim — but the deadline to do so is approaching.

1. Excelsior Orthopaedics & Buffalo Surgery Center Data Breach Settlement

Deadline: June 11, 2026

Settlement Fund: $2.4 million

Estimated Payout: Varies; individual amounts will depend on the number of valid claims submitted and the category of harm documented

Who May Qualify: Individuals who received notification that their personal information was involved in the data breach affecting Excelsior Orthopaedics and/or Buffalo Surgery Center

The class action lawsuit alleges that a data breach exposed the sensitive personal information of patients connected to Excelsior Orthopaedics and Buffalo Surgery Center, two New York-based healthcare providers. The complaint claims that the defendants failed to implement adequate security measures to protect patient data, leaving individuals vulnerable to potential identity theft and fraud.

Because the breach allegedly involved a healthcare organization, the exposed data may have included particularly sensitive categories of information — such as names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and medical or insurance details — though individuals should review their breach notification letter for specifics about what data was involved in their case.

The defendants have not admitted wrongdoing as part of the settlement. The agreement, if approved by the court, would establish a $2.4 million fund from which qualifying class members could receive compensation.

How to claim: Visit the official settlement website for claim form details. Affected individuals who received a breach notification letter are encouraged to review eligibility requirements and documentation guidelines before the June 11, 2026 deadline.

Key Takeaways

• The deadline is June 11, 2026. Claims submitted after this date are unlikely to be considered for payment.
• A breach notification letter is key. If you were notified that your information was involved in this incident, you may be among those eligible to file a claim.
• Healthcare data breaches can involve sensitive records. Individuals affected by breaches at medical providers are often advised to monitor their credit reports and explanation-of-benefits statements for signs of unauthorized activity.
• No admission of liability was made. The settlement resolves the lawsuit without the defendants acknowledging wrongdoing.
• Individual payouts are not guaranteed. Final compensation amounts, if the settlement is approved, will depend on total valid claims filed and documented harm.
