Partner Paul Karlsgodt and Associates Logan Peppin and Alexander Vitruk defended client Overlake Hospital Medical Center in a putative class action lawsuit claiming that the client had installed various third-party analytics software on its public website that caused her protected health information and personally identifiable information to be transmitted to Meta and Google. The Honorable Judge Tana Lin of the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, dismissed with prejudice plaintiff’s claims of invasion of privacy and violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The court also dismissed with leave to amend the Washington Consumer Protection Act, negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment and RCW §§ 7.70 et seq. claims. The court only allowed plaintiff’s breach of fiduciary duty claim to proceed. Subsequently, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed without prejudice the remaining claim and the case was terminated.
