When sensitive patient information is mishandled, it can lead to serious consequences, and individuals affected have the right to seek compensation. A previous story involving a doctor who kept patient records left exposed in their rented home highlights how personal data breaches can put individuals at risk.
With The Data Leak Lawyers, victims of such incidents can claim compensation to hold negligent parties accountable. Contact us to claim for a data breach incident here now.
A former doctor was struck off the UK medical register after leaving confidential patient records unsecured in a rented flat. These documents reportedly included sensitive information on around 300 patients, detailing personal data like names, addresses, and highly sensitive medical information, including records of abortions and psychiatric treatments. The breach was discovered when an estate agent found these records in a cupboard after the doctor moved out.
The careless handling of this data can put the patients involved at serious risk of privacy invasion, fraud, and emotional distress. These records, which should have been protected by stringent confidentiality laws, were left exposed and unsecured. In such instances, data breach victims may have the right to pursue legal action and claim compensation for the distress caused by having their sensitive medical data mishandled.
If you have been affected by a data breach where patient records were left exposed, you could be entitled to compensation.
