What our attorneys examine

A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether City of Iowa City used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in IA.
