Two Data Breaches at McLaren Health
McLaren Health’s data information systems were impacted in 2023 and again in 2024. The plaintiffs in these cases are McLaren patients and employees whose private personal information may have been included in the exposed files.
In or around August 2024, McLaren Health announced operation delays after the health organization detected a breach within its data systems. The healthcare system later notified impacted consumers of this cybersecurity breach. This follows a separate incident from 2023 that similarly resulted in the 8.2 terabytes of private patient and employee data being exfiltrated from McLaren’s systems.
Between the two data breaches impacting McLaren Health patients and other individuals, it was determined that approximately 2.7 million individuals had their information compromised in one or both incidents.
McLaren Class Action Lawsuit and Final Approval of Settlement
On or around November 30, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a consolidated action against McLaren Health for both breaches, having filed individual cases for each breach in the prior two years. Managing Partner of SJ&H Benjamin F. Johns was appointed as co-lead Class Counsel for the settlement, along with Plaintiffs’ firms, the Miller Law Firm, P.C. and Milberg LLC.
Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion for preliminary approval of a $14 million class wide settlement, which was granted on December 15, 2025. Preliminary approval of the settlement allows impacted individuals to submit claims for settlement benefits. This claims period will conclude on April 19, 2026.
On April 21, 2026, the Michigan Court held a hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for final approval of the settlement. The Court granted final approval allowing the Parties to move forward with completing the settlement process. You can read the Court’s final approval order here.
