Updating a blog post we brought you earlier this year, a U.S. District Court Judge has allowed a consumer class action lawsuit filed against Target over its massive data breach to move forward.

The Target data breach affected more than 110 million customers worldwide last year, putting credit card users at risk for identity theft. It also reportedly cost banks and credit unions millions of dollars.

According to the Credit Union Times, in a December 18, 2014 ruling, Judge Paul A. Magnuson rejected Target’s attempts to dismiss claims filed by a various financial institutions and consumers over allegations of negligence.

The banks involved in the lawsuit claim that cyber thieves targeted them and that their computer systems were left vulnerable to attacks because of the data breach.

Additionally, the judge noted that victims or consumers involved in the data breach experienced issues including “unlawful charges, restricted or blocked access to bank accounts, inability to pay other bills and last payment charges or new card fees.”

How Can I Speak to a Class Action Lawyer About a Data Breach?

Target should be held accountable for its poor data security structure that put many Americans at risk for fraud and identity theft. People have a right to privacy when it comes to their financial information.

It should be noted that in a similar data breach case, our attorneys filed a lawsuit against Home Depot, which negligently exposed the identities of up to 56 million cardholders who shopped at the store last year.

Our attorneys represent consumers in class action lawsuits against manufacturers, businesses and banks that have recklessly endangered their personal information.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
