NHS privacy breach compensation claims
It is important to pursue NHS privacy breach compensation if your healthcare data has been misused or exposed and this has caused you to suffer distress. It can be incredibly common to suffer distress when medical information is involved in a data breach, leak, or hack because of the nature of the information involved. As we often say, healthcare information is precisely the kind of data that we want to maintain strict confidentiality over, so it can be incredibly distressing when control over our information is lost.
Not only is the GDPR there to enforce good practices and procedures for organisations in respect of information, it is also there for victims of a data breach to use as well. The GDPR can allow the victim whose information has been misused or exposed to claim compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. It is common to suffer significant distress when it is healthcare information, so it is important to pursue NHS privacy breach compensation if you have been affected by an incident of this nature.

The need for real legal experts for healthcare data breach cases
It is incredibly important to pursue your NHS privacy breach compensation case with leading data breach claims experts. Because you are likely to have suffered significant distress, your claim could be worth a substantial amount. We know that, in the last few years, a lot more other law firms have started looking into privacy cases, and some have been settling cases cheaply for far less than the claims could actually be valued. You want to make sure you can access the true justice that you deserve, so you should know that medical information cases can attract particularly high pay-outs.
We have been operating in this niche and complex area of law for a lot longer than many other law firms out there, which is why we have already recovered over £1m in damages for mostly individual clients. We have also launched over 60 group and multi-party data breach actions and we represent thousands of people engaged in claims on a No Win, No Fee basis now. Our average settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone for our clients, and this includes a broad range of cases.
Ultimately, our experience speaks for itself as a leading privacy compensation firm, and it is very important that you instruct experts to make sure that you can access the true justice that you deserve.
NHS data breach reporting is important
NHS data breach reporting is incredibly important because there is a need to make sure that compliance with the GDPR is carefully monitored in an environment where information is particularly personal and sensitive. We already know that our public healthcare service is under incredible pressure as a result of under-resourcing from the government, and whilst patient safety is always the priority, data protection is also something that could suffer as a result of a lack of resources.
It is incredibly important that the government steps up and solves the crisis in the healthcare industry to avoid people being harmed and to avoid information being misused and exposed.
