As we often say, council data breach compensation claims are one of the most common types of individual legal cases that we take forward for people. They can be unfortunately common, and they can also cause a great deal of harm for the victims. In fact, a couple of the cases that we resolved this year alone settled for between £7,000.00 and £9,000.00, and both involved sensitive information being accidentally shared. It can easily happen, but the damage from data being misused and exposed can be severe.

Cyber-attacks on UK councils can lead to the victims suffering significant distress as a result of the loss of control of their personal information.
The law can entitle victims to be able to claim data breach compensation for the misuse and/or exposure of private information.

There are also concerns that not enough is being done to protect data as well which we will go into in this article here.
Victims do not have to suffer in silence. We can offer No Win, No Fee representation for eligible clients for legal cases as well.
