Zakay Law Group Sues Modoc Medical Center Over Patient Data Breach in California Court

Zakay Law Group, APLC filed a class action complaint against Last Frontier Healthcare District, doing business as Modoc Medical Center, alleging the hospital failed to safeguard patients' personal and protected health information. The case, No. CU-26-045, is pending in Modoc County Superior Court, PR Newswire reported on October 28, 2026.

Zakay Law Group's Claims Against Modoc Medical Center

The complaint alleges Modoc Medical Center was negligent and breached implied contracts, fiduciary duties and confidences. It also cites violations of the California Unfair Competition Law, the California Customer Records Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act.

The lawsuit says the hospital failed to put in place the enhanced security measures needed to prevent unauthorized access to personally identifying information and protected health information held on its network. Zakay Law Group said patients whose data was exposed face harms including invasion of privacy, identity theft, fraudulent financial activity, phishing and scams, and lost time and resources spent securing their identities and medical records.

"Individuals who used Modoc Medical Center's services reasonably expect that their data will be properly safeguarded," the firm said in its announcement. Attorney Jackland Hom is the contact for the case.
