Case summary
This potential case concerns Shore Memorial Hospital, Inc. d/b/a Shore Medical Center, an independent nonprofit healthcare provider in Somers Point, New Jersey. Shore operates a 196-bed acute care community hospital and the website shoremedicalcenter.org, where patients and visitors can search for physicians and services, locate care centers, access patient resources, and review clinical specialties and services. The alleged issue is that Shore shares visitors’ sensitive medical and health-related website information with third parties without adequate notice or consent, potentially violating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.

Frequently asked questions
What are the main responsibilities of being a class representative?
Your name may be listed on the complaint, and you would cooperate with the attorneys working on the case.
Will it cost me anything to become a class representative?
No. This process happens at no cost to you.
What can I expect in terms of compensation?
You cannot be paid to be a plaintiff. However, if money is recovered through a settlement, the attorneys typically ask the court to consider a service award for your time as a class representative. Based on experience, class representatives often receive service awards that can range from $1,000 to $5,000. You may also be eligible to recover your share from any settlement as a class member. There is no exact formula, and any award is ultimately up to the judge overseeing the case.
What is the difference between a class representative and a class member?
The main difference is that a class representative’s name is listed on the complaint and they are responsible for cooperating with the attorneys throughout the case.
