TAS BIPA Lawsuit

Nedialkova v. Total Airport Services, LLC, Case No. 2019-CH-02300 (Il. Cir. Ct. Cook County)

If you had your finger scanned by Total Airport Services, LLC’s timeclocks within the state of Illinois between February 21, 2014 through January 21, 2018, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights.

The lawsuit claims that TAS used timeclocks to track hours of work that used biometric technology to collect, create, and store users’ finger template in violation of BIPA. TAS denies these allegations, denies violations of any law, and denies all liability. The lawsuit seeks damages for each Class Member of $1,000 for each violation committed. The Court has not decided whether the Class or TAS is right. If the case is not resolved through legal motions or settled, the lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims at a trial.

What Are My Options?

Do Nothing

Stay in this lawsuit. Await the outcome. Give up certain rights for the possibility of receiving certain benefits.
By doing nothing, you keep the possibility of getting money or benefits that may come from the lawsuit. But you give up any right to sue TAS separately about the same legal claims in this lawsuit, and will instead be bound by the result of this lawsuit. There will be no second opt out opportunity, unless the Court finds it necessary, so your decision to stay in the lawsuit or opt out must be made now.

Get out of this lawsuit. Get no benefits from it. Keep right to sue.
If you ask to be excluded and money or benefits are later awarded, you will not share in or receive anything from those monies or benefits. But you will keep any right to sue TAS separately about the same claims in this lawsuit.
