I hadn't considered HIPAA. IANAL either but I have taken business law 101 as well as human services classes that both covered it.

If I remember right though, HIPAA isn't a personal lawsuit. It's the feds suing corporations for violations. I can't like, personally sue the health industry for a violation (as far as I remember).
