Lemonade agrees to $10.5 million breach settlement
Lemonade Inc. and Lemonade Insurance Agency LLC agreed to pay $10.5 million to resolve class claims that unauthorized parties could access personal information through its online insurance quote system. The alleged exposure window ran from April 2023 through Sept. 18, 2024 and included driver’s license numbers. The settlement class is estimated at about 190,000 U.S. people, including recipients of breach notices in April or June 2025, and members may seek up to $10,000 in documented losses plus pro rata cash relief and three years of credit monitoring and identity theft insurance.
Why it matters
It puts a large dollar figure on a consumer data exposure and defines concrete remediation for a broad affected class.
