If you have yet to start your British Airways hack compensation claim, here’s a handy guide of a few things that you need to know about in terms of what’s going on.
We initiated legal claims last year as soon as news of the breach hit the headlines. Just over a year on from the first announcement of the breaches, a great deal has happened, and we’re acting for a number of people on a No Win, No Fee basis for claims.
If you’ve yet to start your legal case and you’re not sure what the current state of play is, this quick and handy guide will hopefully give you a little insight.
It’s important to know your GDPR data breach rights, and as a pioneering data breach compensation law firm, our expert advice and representation can help.
I once read that, statistically, data breaches are more common than rain in the UK. Having lived here all my life, and travelled a fair few places around the world, that statement seems excessive. The weather, and how wet it is, is a common part of British life!
But it’s apparently true. So, with this in mind, let’s look at your GDPR data breach rights and how we can help you when it comes to making as claim for compensation.
With cybercriminals potentially targeting this sector, recruitment agency data breach compensation claims may be on the rise. We’re here to help.
This kind of data breach could lead to a substantial impact on the victim. You must remember that recruitment agencies hold a great deal of information about thousands and thousands of candidates. And many of the big agencies are online, so the numbers can be huge, and the data can be accessible.
When you have a wealth of potentially sensitive information for thousands of people, you can easily become a target for hackers. Employees of recruitment companies must also ensure that they’re complying with the law as well.
We can offer No Win, No Fee representation for victims who claim compensation for a financial information data breach with us.
Although we often talk about claiming for the distress of a breach, those who lose money can be entitled to recover what has been lost as well. This is in addition to the distress for the fact that the breach has happened in the first place.
With the number of cyber incidents in the financial services sector said to be increasing, this is an important area for us to offer our expert advice and services for.
If you’ve been the victim of someone unlawfully accessing medical records, you could be entitled to make a medical data breach compensation claim.
With the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh (WWL) NHS Foundation Trust medical records access scandal fresh in our minds, we want to make sure that victims know that they have a voice. We’ve taken forward a number of cases for victims of the WWL incident so far, but anyone who has suffered this kind of breach can be entitled to claim.
Whether you’re one of the 2,172 Greater Manchester patients affected by the above scandal, or someone who has discovered unlawful access to your information, we may be able to help you.
There has been a surge in people signing up to join the BA Group Action lawsuit following this month’s announcement of our appointment to the Steering Committee that’s conducting the litigation.
The hearing at the High Court of Justice on Friday 4th October 2019 resulted in some key victories for the claimants’ side that we’re a part of. Mr Justice Warby gave the go ahead for a Group Litigation Order (GLO) to be formed, allowing all claimants – which could reach up to around 500,000 – to bring their claims together. This can allow for a far more efficient way of managing the cases and fighting the common issues, and we were delighted with our appointment to the Steering Committee as well.
Apps and smart devices are pretty much staples for many people these days, and information is being shared all the time. But what about health apps sharing data? How much of an understanding do you have about what exactly is being passed around?
If you’re not sure, you may have reason to be concerned. Health apps are fairly common these days, from the basic ones tracking our physical activity, to period tracking apps, dietary apps, and workout apps.
Like most apps, information is being passed and shared around, and there are usually privacy policies in place and consent forms in place. But how much do people really understand about it all?
Victims who have been subjected to unauthorised access to medical records can be entitled to take legal action, and it’s important to know how we can be of assistance. With healthcare data breach claims being one of the most common cases that we help people with, and one of the worst in terms of the affect it can have on the victim, it’s an important topic to discuss.
This is a topic we’ve covered a lot in the past as a firm of lawyers who have helped many people with this exact type of case for a number of years. In recent weeks, we’ve covered the issue even more given the recent Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh NHS Foundation Trust scandal.
With the issue at the forefront of the media right now, let us – as expert Data Leak Experts – tell you exactly what you can do if you’re the victim of this kind of breach.
Last Friday, the British Airways group action case was given the go ahead by Justice Warby for a Group Litigation Order (GLO) to be formed, and it was a landmark decision.
We have been fighting for the rights of those affected by the BA data breach, working tirelessly on a No Win, No Fee basis for our valued clients.
Last year’s cyber-attacks were huge in themselves. Since then, a record-setting fine has been provisionally set, and now we have the green light for the GLO to go ahead. In the world of data breach compensation claiming that we’ve been at the forefront of for many years, this really is landmark stuff.
