The complaint, entered on the docket on April 15, 2026, asserts that DermCare became aware of suspicious activity on its computer systems on February 26, 2025, but did not notify affected individuals until April 8, 2026.
DermCare, which provides administrative and operational services for dermatology and plastic surgery practices and is headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, launched an investigation with third-party cybersecurity experts after detecting the unauthorized access.
The investigation determined that certain files were accessed or taken without authorization between February 14, 2025, and February 26, 2025, and concluded on March 2, 2026.
Gile’s complaint alleges that DermCare failed to take adequate measures to protect its computer systems against unauthorized access and waited more than one year after being made aware of the breach to notify impacted individuals.
The plaintiff claims DermCare owed statutory, regulatory, contractual, and common law duties to keep private information confidential and safe, yet breached those duties by failing to implement or maintain adequate security practices.
Gile seeks to remedy harms on behalf of all persons whose private information was compromised, alleging causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, unjust enrichment, breach of implied contract, and breach of confidence.
The complaint invokes the Court’s jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act, alleging the amount in controversy exceeds $5 million and that the class includes more than 100 members from multiple states.
