Over £12,000 pay-outs for personal and sensitive information leaks

In respect of any breaches involving particularly personal and sensitive information, compensation pay-outs can be substantial. We have settled a number of cases for over £12,000.

This is above our average and reflects the nature of the seriousness of such breaches, and it is also likely more than what some other law firms may be prepared to settle similar cases for. We know this because we are aware of other law firms settling claims for reduced amounts or taking earlier offers, whereas we are prepared to fight harder to make sure we get the best justice possible.

Police releasing information: data breach compensation claim

The police releasing information without authority, reason or consent can constitute a breach of the GDPR, which could allow a victim to claim data breach compensation.

No one is above law. In fact, the police have an incredibly important duty to make sure that they uphold data protection legislation. Any failure on the part of the police to comply with the GDPR could put people at risk, so it is vital that this is recognised.

You can speak to our team to find out if we are able to represent you for a GDPR compensation claim by contacting us here now for free, no-obligation legal advice.
