21st Century Oncology Data Breach Lawsuit
The Legal Team
Motley Rice represents people whose private information, including names, social security numbers, medical records and insurance information, was compromised by 21st Century Oncology’s alleged lack of security in protecting patient records.
The data breach may have left millions of people vulnerable to identify theft as well as open to financial fraud.
U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven of the Middle District of Florida Tampa Division appointed Motley Rice attorney Jodi Westbrook Flowers as co-liaison counsel and a member of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee for multidistrict litigation filed for impacted patients of the 21st Century Oncology data breach.

21st Century Oncology is a cancer care company with 145 treatment centers in 17 states and employs or is affiliated with more than 900 doctors globally, including radiation oncologists and other cancer-related specialists such as urologist, oncologists, hematologists, surgeons and pathologists.
21st Century Oncology claims that the FBI notified the company of the breach on Nov. 13, 2015 and upon further investigation, it was determined that the breach occurred on Oct. 3, 2015. Reports indicate that an estimated 2.2 million of its current and former patients across the United States have been impacted.
Patients started receiving letters from the company notifying them of the breach in March 2016.
It is reported that the company has had previous allegedly improper dealings, including resolving a claim with a whistleblower in December for $19.75 million regarding claims of improper billing for bladder cancer tests, and earlier in 2016, reaching a $34.7 million settlement for claims related to improper radiation testing.
Additionally, multidistrict litigation alleging gross negligence, breach of contract and other claims moved forward in Florida in March 2019 after U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven denied a motion to dismiss the MDL. Read more.
