Our history of helping people with major data breaches

We have a long history of representing thousands of people in major data breaches, both for singular events and in some of the biggest group and multi-party actions to have ever taken place. We have been helping people pursue privacy compensation cases for almost a decade, which is a great deal longer than many other firms out there. This is why we have such a history in respect of many of the major data breaches that have taken place to date.

The data breaches we talk about include the TalkTalk cyberattack of 2015 and the major NHS data leak involving the 56 Dean Street Clinic of the same year. We have also represented those affected by the 2017 Equifax hack, as well as thousands of people affected by the British Airways data breach of 2018 and the Virgin Media data leak discovered in 2020.

Overall, we have launched over 60 data breach group and multi-party actions to date, representing thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis. As such, our experience in this niche and complex area of law is clear to see, which is vital for those who instruct us because they can benefit from the best representation we can offer.

Claiming compensation for a data breach

If you need to claim as part of one of the major data breaches, whether as part of a new group action or a singular case, we want to help you. We can represent eligible clients on a No Win, No Fee basis. When you pursue a claim, what you are doing is recovering damages for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of your personal information. If you have also suffered losses and expenses then these can be considered, but they are not essential to be able to make a claim. Most people will claim for the distress alone.

When it comes to data breach compensation pay-outs and amounts, it is well worth your time pursuing a case. As of 2022, our average data breach settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone per claimant. Clearly, it is well worth anybody’s time in pursuing data breach damages when you could be owed as much as that. In more severe cases, your claim value could be worth a lot more.

More on the BA data breach compensation action

When it comes to the BA data breach compensation action, this is one of the biggest that has taken place in recent years, affecting almost half a million people. Not only was it large in scale, but it also involved payment card information being skimmed and stolen by the hackers behind the attack. This put people in vulnerable positions in respect of fraud and theft.

Many people were targeted and were subject to fraudulent transactions on their accounts. Even when money is refunded by banks or payments are blocked, the distress of knowing that hackers are trying to steal money from you can be significant. We take this into account as part of our action.
