This is a court-authorized Notice Website for a proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit, Guerrero, et al. v. Merritt Healthcare Holdings, LLC, Case No. 3:23-cv-00389, currently pending in the District Court for the District of Connecticut. The proposed settlement would resolve a lawsuit that alleges that Merritt Healthcare Holdings, LLC d/b/a Merritt Healthcare Advisors (“Merritt”) was negligent and breached contractual and statutory duties in connection with a data security incident that Merritt discovered on November 30, 2022, and occurred between July 30, 2022 and August 25, 2022.  Merritt contests these claims and denies that it did anything wrong.
