Claiming compensation for a breach of the GDPR

You could be entitled to claim compensation for a breach of the GDPR where your personal information has been misused or exposed as a result of some form of negligence. We normally prove negligence where we can show that there was more that could – and should – have been done to have prevented your information from being misused or exposed in the first place. If we can show this, the offending organisation involved could be in breach of the GDPR, which means you could then be entitled to pursue a case.

The GDPR can entitle the victim of a data breach, leak or a hack to pursue damages for any distress that they have suffered. The distress is about the way in which you have suffered emotionally and mentally as a result of the loss of control of your personal information. Generally speaking, the more distress you suffer, the more a claim could be worth. We will normally assess the levels of distress based on factors such as the nature of the data involved, how much is affected, and the personal impact on you. The latter element can vary from person to person and can depend on the context of the incident.

Our No Win, No Fee commitments

You could be eligible to benefit from No Win, No Fee legal representation for a breach of the GDPR when you pursue your claim for compensation with our leading team of experts.

We are huge believers in access to justice, which is why we work this way. We do not believe it would be fair if people had to pay for a losing claim. We also know that many people would not be able to afford to pursue a case if they had to pay for losing a claim, so this is really the best and most feasible way in which we can help people.

Our No Win, No Fee commitments do exactly as they say they do in the paperwork that we provide for our clients. It really is simple: we can write off our legal fees if the claim does not succeed as long as you comply with the reasonable terms and conditions in place.

This does mean that we lose money on losing cases, but this is why we carefully risk assess a claim before we take it forward. This does not mean that we only take easy claims forward, it simply means that we conduct risk assessments to understand whether we believe there is a good enough chance of us being able to win the claim for you.
