The Baker Drywall class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on June 27, 2025 and covers anyone who was notified by or on behalf of Baker Drywall that their information was impacted by the data breach that affected the company in February 2024.

The court-approved website for the Baker Drywall settlement can be found at BDDataSettlement.com.

Baker Drywall settlement class members who file a timely, valid claim form may receive reimbursement for “ordinary” monetary losses, reimbursement for “extraordinary” monetary losses, one year of identity theft protection services, and compensation for up to three hours of time spent dealing with the effects of the data breach, at a rate of $25 per hour.

Per the class action settlement website, each class member may submit a claim form to recover up to $250 in ordinary losses, which may include:

• Professional fees, including attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees and fees for credit repair services;
• Unreimbursed losses related to fraud or identity theft;
• Credit monitoring costs incurred on or after the date the data breach notice was mailed through the date the claim is submitted; and
• Miscellaneous expenses such as copying, notary, postage, mileage, fax and long-distance telephone charges.

Further, each eligible class member may submit a claim form to recover up to $5,000 in extraordinary losses, which are defined as “actual, documented and unreimbursed monetary loss[es] stemming from fraud or identity theft” incurred as a result of and after the date of the data breach, and are not covered by either the ordinary or time reimbursement categories. Court documents also stipulate that a class member who submits a claim for an extraordinary loss must have already “made reasonable efforts to avoid, or seek reimbursement for, the loss, including but not limited to the exhaustion of all available credit monitoring insurance and identity theft insurance.”

Documentation must be provided to submit a claim form for ordinary and/or extraordinary losses, the settlement site states.

The offer of one year of identity theft protection services includes one-bureau credit monitoring and $1,000,000 in identity theft protections, the website relays.

Baker Drywall has also agreed to implement various cybersecurity enhancements and enact remediation efforts to protect the sensitive personal information it possesses.

A hearing is set for November 3, 2025 to determine whether the settlement will receive final court approval. Payments will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Baker Drywall class action lawsuit alleged that the company’s negligence left its record systems vulnerable to cybercriminals who accessed the sensitive personal information of approximately 16,000 people during the February 2024 data breach.
