Who is included in the settlement?
The settlement benefits Washington consumers who rented rooms from the below seven (7) Motel 6 locations in Washington State between January 1, 2015 and September 17, 2017.
What does the settlement provide?
The settlement totals $12 million. Any interest earned will be added to the Settlement Fund. More details are in the Consent Decree available by clicking the Court Documents link. The amount you could expect to receive will vary depending on the extent of the harm that occurred as a result of having your private information shared with DHS/ICE. Even if Motel 6 only shared your name/guest information, and no other harm occurred as a result of this sharing of information, you may be eligible for recovery for that violation of your privacy. If additional harm occurred, including investigation, detention or deportation, you may be eligible for additional recovery. The cost of administering the settlement, as well as the Washington State Attorney General’s attorney fees and costs, will come out of the Settlement Fund.
