The Breach — What We Know

Insurance companies like Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. hold comprehensive financial and health records that are especially valuable to identity thieves. According to a MA state filing, Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing financial account information and payment data. This breach was recently disclosed and the window for legal action is open now.

The insurance industry's reliance on comprehensive background records makes breach victims especially vulnerable to multi-vector attacks — using different fragments of exposed data for financial fraud, medical identity theft, and government benefits fraud concurrently. The Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) requires Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. to notify affected individuals and provide remedies, but those remedies rarely address the full scope of potential harm.

Based on its name, Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. appears to be an insurance brokerage firm that helps clients manage and secure various insurance policies. In the regular course of business, companies in this industry typically collect and store sensitive personal and financial data, including client names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, policy numbers, and financial account information. This data security incident was officially reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2026. If you received a data breach notification letter in the mail, it means your personal information may have been involved in the incident. This page provides an overview of the situation to help you understand what happened and what steps you can take to protect your information.

Risk Analysis — Exposed Data

Based on the data types reported in this filing, affected individuals face the following specific risks:

Identity Theftcritical

Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

Physical Security Riskmedium

Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.

§ V

— Compensation Available

01
Lost Time & Remediation Costs

The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.

02
Identity Theft Protection Costs

Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.

03
Banking & Account Fees

Fees charged to close and reopen accounts, issue replacement cards, or dispute fraudulent transactions are recoverable in data breach litigation. So are the costs of overdrafts, late payments, and credit damage caused by unauthorized activity.

04
Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

§ VI

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc.?

No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.

My financial account data was exposed. Can the bank recover my losses?

Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.

Is there a deadline to file a claim?

State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.

What if Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Pascal Burke Insurance Brokerage Inc. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
