Our work in group actions for data breaches and hacks

Our work in group actions for data breaches and hacks dates back to nearly a decade, which is a lot longer than many other firms working in this niche and complex area of law. To date, we have launched over 60 multi-party and group actions for data breaches, leaks and hacks, representing thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis. We are taking on huge companies as a result of major breaches of privacy that have happened over the last decade, and our firm is well-equipped to fight for the rights of those who have been wronged in a mass privacy event.

Some of the earliest actions that we are involved in include the TalkTalk cyberattack and the 56 Dean Street clinic leak of 2015. We represent people affected by the major Equifax hack of 2017, and we represent thousands of people engaged in the British Airways data breach group action and the Virgin Media data leak action we have launched.

Leading Data Leak Lawyers

Your Lawyers is a firm of Leading Data Leak Lawyers representing thousands of people in both individual and group actions for data breach incidents. We are a leading firm in this area of law given how long we have been representing people, and given that we have already recovered over £1m in damages for mostly individual cases.

Over the last few years, a number of other law firms have started taking on privacy compensation cases, and not all have been working in the best interests of their clients, in our view. We know some firms that have settled claims for considerably less than we have been able to resolve claims for, and our average 2022 settlement is at just over £6,000 in damages alone per claimant.

Data breach compensation action: British Airways

The data breach compensation action against British Airways is one of the major ones that we are involved in, and we represent thousands of people in this case. In 2022, some cases settled, but we continue to represent thousands of people as we seek a fair resolution for the exposure of their personal and private information.

This was a major data breach event that affected almost half a million people and involved sensitive payment card data being exposed to cyber criminals. Unfortunately, the website and app for British Airways had been subject to compromise and cybercriminals were able to copy information that was being processed, which included payment data. A number of our clients reported fraudulent transactions on accounts, believed to be the result of the British Airways incident.

If you were affected by this incident but have yet to start your claim, find out if you are still in time to do so by completing a few forms on the British Airways Data Breach Group action website here.
