Ohio Plaintiffs Move to Consolidate Negligence Suits vs. Intellihartx

Plaintiffs in six negligence lawsuits against Intellihartx (ITx) moved to consolidate their related actions and appoint co-lead class counsel, said a Monday memorandum (docket 3:23-cv-1224) in U.S. District Court for Northern Ohio in Toledo. The related actions arise from a cyberattack on ITx’ computer network beginning around Jan. 30, resulting in the compromise of plaintiffs’ personally identifiable information, including names, addresses, medical billing and insurance information, diagnoses, medication and Social Security numbers, said the memorandum. Plaintiffs raise legal questions that ITx breached the same or similar common law and statutory duties and seek the same remedies and compensation, it said. They propose as interim co-lead counsel Mason Barney of Siri & Glimstad, Gary Klinger of Milberg Coleman, and William Federman of Federman & Sherwood, “nationally recognized as leaders in data breach litigation.” The related cases are Perrone v. Intellihartx, Kelly v. Intellihartx, Cabrales v. Intellihartx, Timmons v. Intellihartx, McDavitt v. Intellihartx and Terwilliger v. Intellihartx.
