If you received a notification letter dated December 2023 from JAE Oregon regarding a Security Incident, you may be entitled to benefits from a Class Settlement.

What is this Lawsuit about?

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against JAE Oregon, Inc. (“JAE Oregon” or “Defendant”) arising out of a Security Incident that Defendant identified around November 2023. Plaintiff Ralph Lesperance (“Plaintiff”) asserts claims for himself and a proposed class arising out of the Security Incident and the alleged unauthorized access to Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) of Plaintiff and current and former employees of JAE Oregon. Plaintiffs allege on or around April 11, 2024, as a result of the Incident, there was unauthorized accessibility of their Personal Information. Plaintiffs brought this lawsuit against Defendant.

Defendant denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. No court or other judicial entity has made any judgment or other determination of any wrongdoing by Defendant, or that any law has been violated. Instead, Plaintiff and Defendant have agreed to a settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the lawsuit.
