Welcome to the LUMC Pixel Settlement Website
Smith, et al. v. Loyola University Medical Center
If you accessed the Loyola University Medical Center MyChart patient account portal between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, you may be entitled to a Cash Payment from a class action settlement.
The Parties have reached a Settlement to resolve the claims and to provide relief to those affected.
You are a “Settlement Class Member” if you accessed the LUMC MyChart patient account portal between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022 (“Relevant Period”):
- Under the Settlement, LUMC has agreed to establish a Settlement Fund in the amount of Two Million Six Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-Four Dollars ($2,665,264) for pro rata cash payments to all verified Class Members who submit a valid claim. The Settlement Fund will also be used to pay for the costs of the settlement administration, court-approved attorneys’ fees, litigation costs and expenses, and Class Representative Service Awards. In addition, LUMC has agreed to stop the use of tracking technologies without prominent disclosures through the use of a “cookie banner” or certain technology that sanitizes the information collected via tracking technologies.
- Each Settlement Class Member may submit a claim either electronically through a settlement website or by mail.
- If the amount in the Net Settlement Fund (the amount remaining after deducting the costs of notice and settlement administration, Settlement Class Counsel’s Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses and the Service Awards for Plaintiffs) will be distributed pro rata to ensure the Settlement Fund is exhausted, with no reversion from the Settlement Fund to Defendant.
Any amounts remaining in the Net Settlement Fund after payments are issued and cashed or expired shall be disbursed cy pres.
