What Is the Robbie D. Wood Lawsuit About? Jevon Worrell v. Robbie D. Wood Inc., No. 68-CV-2025-900681.00

On October 1, 2024, Robbie D. Wood became aware of unauthorized activity on its computer network and immediately engaged third-party forensic specialists to determine the full nature and scope of the incident. The investigation confirmed an unauthorized individual accessed data within its network. Robbie D. Wood completed its review on January 16, 2025, and began notifying impacted individuals shortly after.

Robbie D. Wood Inc. is a trucking company headquartered in Hueytown, Alabama. Organized in 1965, the company began by hauling bulk commodities and later added specializations in hazardous and non-hazardous waste, chemical product transportation, and currently operates 223 drivers serving 2,500 customers across terminals in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, and North Carolina. The breach affected employees, contractors, customers, and others whose personal records were stored in the company’s systems.

The lawsuit — filed under data breach compensation claims — alleges Robbie D. Wood failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to protect the personally identifiable information (PII) it held. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs, risks, and uncertainties of continued litigation and to provide timely benefits to those affected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a class action lawsuit against Robbie D. Wood for the data breach?

 Yes. The case is Jevon Worrell v. Robbie D. Wood Inc., Case No. 68-CV-2025-900681.00. The settlement is preliminarily approved and currently open for claims at rdwsettlement.com. The final approval hearing is set for August 18, 2026.

Do I need to do anything right now to be included?

 You need to act if you want cash. Class members who want the $65 alternative cash payment or reimbursement for documented losses must file a claim by August 5, 2026. Credit monitoring enrollment also requires a claim form submission. If you do nothing, you receive no payment.

How much will I get from the Robbie D. Wood settlement?

 It depends on your situation. You can claim up to $5,000 if you have documented losses such as identity theft expenses, credit monitoring fees, or fraud-related costs. If you have no documented losses, you can claim a flat $65 cash payment. All class members also qualify for two years of free credit monitoring regardless of which option they choose.

Do I need a lawyer to file a claim?

 No. Filing is completely free and takes about 10–15 minutes online at rdwsettlement.com. Attorneys’ fees of $125,000 are paid directly from the settlement fund — not by class members. A consumer rights lawyer is only worth consulting if your losses exceed $5,000 and you want to pursue an individual claim instead.

When will I receive my Robbie D. Wood settlement payment?

 The settlement administrator will distribute payments after the court resolves any appeals and grants final approval of the settlement. The final approval hearing is August 18, 2026, so payments are expected in late 2026 or early 2027, depending on whether any appeals are filed.

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 If you miss the August 5, 2026 deadline, you lose the right to receive any cash payment or credit monitoring from this settlement. You would still be bound by the release and unable to sue Robbie D. Wood separately for these breach-related claims. File early.

Will my settlement payment affect my taxes?

 Reimbursements for actual out-of-pocket losses are generally not taxable. The flat $65 alternative cash payment may be considered taxable income. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation, particularly if you receive a 1099 form from the administrator.

Is this settlement legitimate? 

Yes. The settlement administrator is Atticus Administration, a professional claims administration company. The official settlement website is rdwsettlement.com. You can reach the administrator at 800-805-3182 or [email protected]. Never pay anyone to file your claim — it is always free.
