Staver Accident Injury Lawyers’s Data Breach Investigation
Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, PC sent a notice dated November 5, 2026 titled Notice of Data Security Incident. It tells people about a recent data security incident that may have resulted in unauthorized access to their personal information. The letter was posted by the state of Massachusetts in its list of data breach notification letters for November 2026. The posted copy is a sample, with the recipient’s name and activation code left blank. The letter does not give the firm’s location. Independent business listings describe Staver Accident Injury Lawyers as a personal injury law firm in Chicago, Illinois.
The letter says that, because of the requirements of Massachusetts law, the firm cannot provide further details about the nature of the incident in the letter. It tells people they can get additional information by calling a dedicated assistance line. That is an important point for readers. Massachusetts notices are often much shorter than notices sent in other states, because the state limits what a notice may say about the nature of a breach. As a result, this letter does not say what kind of incident occurred, when it took place, or how it was discovered. It does not say who was behind it, and it does not say how many people are affected.
The letter does describe the firm’s response. It says that, upon discovery of the incident, the firm promptly began taking steps to secure its systems. It says the firm worked with third-party forensic specialists to investigate and reported the incident to law enforcement. According to the letter, the response included confirming the security of its systems, reviewing the contents of relevant data for sensitive information, and notifying potentially impacted individuals. The firm adds that it continues to review its policies, procedures and processes related to the storage and access of personal information, to reduce the likelihood of a similar event.
To help people protect themselves, the firm is offering single bureau credit monitoring, a single bureau credit report and a single bureau credit score at no charge. The letter says these services provide alerts for 24 months from the date of enrollment when changes occur to a person’s credit file, and that the alert is sent on the same day the bureau makes a change. The firm is also offering proactive fraud assistance for anyone with questions or who becomes a victim of fraud. The services are provided by Cyberscout, a TransUnion company that specializes in fraud assistance and remediation services.
People enroll at the MyTrueIdentity website using the activation code printed on their own letter. The letter says a person must enroll within 90 days from the date of the letter, and that Cyberscout representatives are available for 90 days from the date of the letter to answer questions about the incident. Enrollment requires an internet connection and an email account, and the letter notes that the service may not be available to minors under the age of 18. The notice also encloses general steps for protecting personal information, including how to get free credit reports, place a security freeze and report identity theft.
The letter does not say what categories of personal information were involved. It does not say whether the people who received it are clients, employees or someone else. Law firms keep detailed records about the people they serve, which can include contact details, identification numbers and sensitive case information, but the letter does not say which, if any, of those were involved here. This page therefore does not guess at the type of data or the cause of the incident. Anything stated here comes only from the posted letter and the firm’s public listings.
State laws set deadlines and content rules for breach notices, and they differ from state to state. Most states require a company to notify affected residents without unreasonable delay, and many require a report to the state attorney general once a breach reaches a certain size. Because each state publishes different details, the same incident can look very different depending on which filing a reader finds. A thin notice in one state does not mean the incident was small, and a longer notice in another state may add details that this page does not yet have.
Anyone who received a letter from Staver Accident Injury Lawyers should read it closely and keep it, along with the activation code. If you think you may have been affected but have not received a notice, this page cannot tell you whether your information was involved, and only the firm can answer that. The facts here come only from the posted letter and may change if the firm shares more.

The letter says people must enroll in the credit monitoring offer within 90 days from the date of the letter. Until the firm or a regulator publishes more, the timeline of the incident is not publicly available.
What Information Was Breached?
The letter does not say what kinds of personal information were involved. It says only that a data security incident may have resulted in unauthorized access to personal information.
