Verify My Notice LetterThis page references a public filing made with the state filing in MA. This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any state government agency.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
Clark & Enersen was responsible for safeguarding the personal data of its customers and employees. According to a MA state filing, Clark & Enersen experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing financial account information and payment data. Although disclosed some time ago, affected individuals may still have legal options.
Large-scale data breaches rarely affect uniform categories of data for all victims. Some individuals in the Clark & Enersen breach may have had minimal data exposed, while others may have had comprehensive records compromised. Because the full scope of exposure often takes months to assess, a free legal review is the most reliable way to understand your specific situation.
Clark & Enersen appears to be a professional architecture, engineering, and design firm, which typically maintains sensitive business records, financial documents, and personnel files. In the course of their business operations, they likely collect and store personal information belonging to employees, contractors, and clients, including names, contact information, and sensitive identification numbers. In 2025, the company officially reported a data breach to the Massachusetts Attorney General following a security incident involving unauthorized access to their network. If you received a data breach notification letter in the mail, it means your personal information may have been involved in this event. The notification letter provides further details regarding the incident and outlines the complimentary identity monitoring services being offered to help protect you against potential misuse of your data.
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
Under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), you may have a legal claim against Clark & Enersen if any of the following apply:
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
Received a notification letter from Clark & Enersen?
Read our dedicated guide — what the letter means and what to do.
No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Clark & Enersen does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Clark & Enersen during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
