Goode v. LexisNexis Risk & Information Analytics Group Inc.

A Pennsylvania federal judge has given preliminary approval to a $2.38 million settlement in a proposed class action claiming LexisNexis Risk Solutions Inc. illegally distributed damaging information about retail workers to current and potential employers. The plaintiffs are represented by Irv Ackelsberg.

In the April 2, 2013 edition of The New York Times, business reporters Stephanie Clifford and Jessica Silver-Greenberg detail the damage being done to unknowing employees in the article, Retailers Track Employees Thefts in Vast Database.
