Given that they already have a lawsuit going that's being setup for class action, I'm pretty sure there will be a mechanism whereby users who do suffer damages will be able to get additional compensation. All they'd likely have to show is a credit card used on PSN with fradulent activity, as civil cases only require a preponderance of evidence.
I'm fairly certain if the case gets to trial Sony's PSN security will be found to be not meeting industry standards, as that is the consensus opinion among most of the security researchers and experts, but it's more likely they will settle. A lot of the vulnerabilities were already known and the information was circulated among the hacker groups. That Sony did not adequately address the issue in time speaks volumes for itself.
