The leading team at Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – were pleased to be able to secure a damages settlement well in excess of £13,000 as a result of a data breach by social services.
We were pleased to have been able to recover over £10,000 in damages for a client who was affected by an incident of sending sensitive data to the wrong recipients.
In a matter of this nature, the impact on the victim can be substantial, depending on the nature of the information that has been affected. That is why, for some claims, we are able to recover substantial damages, as we were able to in this particular case.
We previously recovered £10,000 in damages for a client whom we represented in a case where there had been an incident of inappropriately accessing medical data that belonged to them.
This was a serious and flagrant breach of GDPR that had a significant impact on our client, which is why we agreed to pursue the case for them on a No Win, No Fee basis. We are pleased that we were able to succeed with the claim and recover substantial damages on behalf of our client.
We previously recovered over £9,000 in damages for a client who we represented in a matter that involved disclosure without consent that caused understandable distress.
All organisations must comply with the GDPR, and consent when it comes to the disclosure or publication of information is one of the most basic aspects of privacy compliance.
Your Lawyers – as Leading Data Leak Lawyers – is used to representing victims who have been affected by incidents in which information has been breached, leaked, or hacked. If particularly personal and sensitive information has been disclosed without consent, we appreciate the significant distress that can be caused when such an event takes place.
Our team was incredibly pleased to have achieved an award of over £10,000 pounds for a client we previously represented who was the victim of a sensitive data disclosure.
In this matter, the context was particularly important, which we will go into more detail below.
We previously attained a £10,000 settlement for a client who we represented who was the victim of an organisation sharing private information without consent.
The GDPR is incredibly important for organisations to comply with, and it sets out what must be done to make sure that data subjects can benefit from the privacy that they are legally entitled to. If the GDPR is breached, any victim of a privacy event could suffer significant distress and loss. As Leading Data Breach Compensation Experts, we are here to help people.
We were previously able to resolve a claim for a client of ours for the sum of £15,000 in damages after a spreadsheet attached to an email exposed personal information.
We can tell you as leading privacy compensation experts that, unfortunately, this kind of event can be quite common in occurrence. There is no excuse for such a data leak to happen, and we are pleased that we were able to resolve this particular case in our client’s favour and with such a positive settlement result achieved.
The leading team at Your Lawyers – the Data Leak Lawyers – was able to settle a privacy compensation matter in the sum of £10,000 that involved the disclosure of mental health information.
The disclosure arose from an entirely avoidable error that had a significant impact on our client, as we will outline below.
The expert data team here at Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – was successful in securing a £15,000 damages pay-out that was awarded to our client who was the victim of someone snooping on medical records.
This kind of data breach is a serious and often malicious invasion of privacy that must not go unpunished. The UK’s data regulator, the ICO, can issue fines and prosecutions arising from such incidents, but it is up to us as lawyers to represent victims in civil compensation matters.
The award in this case of £15,000 in compensation for damages is a substantial one that reflects the impact that our client suffered as a result of what happened.
The context of a data breach is incredibly important to consider, and is why some claims can settle for much higher values than others, such as a previous one we resolved for £20,000.
Ultimately, a claim for compensation is about assessing the impact that has been caused to a data breach victim. This can differ from person to person, and the context of an incident is one of the key things we need to consider, as we will outline below.
