Mr Justice Warby at the High Court of Justice has given the go ahead for the 500,000 or so victims of the 2018 cyber-attacks to sue British Airways for compensation.
Our firm has been formally appointed to the Steering Committee for the BA Group Action. This means that we will be at the forefront of the action as we continue our fight for justice for the victims of last year’s data breach incidents.
We’ve received a huge influx of new cases over the weekend following Friday’s success at Court. As a law firm who are open seven days a week, our team has been busy over the weekend as clients get started on their journey toward compensation.
BREAKING NEWS: Your Lawyers – the Data Leak Lawyers – will continue in helping in leading the fight for justice in the BA group action court case.
Our expert consumer rights and data breach lawyers will remain at the forefront of the huge, pioneering battle for compensation against British Airways.
Mr Justice Warby has given the green light for the Group Litigation Order (GLO) to proceed. Together with other Claimant firms, we have also been successful in forcing a U-turn on BA’s efforts to shorten the length of time people have to sign-up to claim. This is a landmark moment in UK legal history, and we’re delighted that we’ve been able to use our experience and expertise to get the right decision that’s best for those affected by the 2018 cyber-attacks.
Victims of a university cyber-attack can be entitled to claim for data breach compensation, and we can offer No Win, No Fee representation for cases that meet our eligibility criteria.
Universities and other learning institutions can be somewhat of a target for cybercriminals. They can be targeted by foreign threat across who are seeking intelligence and research information, but they can also be a target for those who wish to hack data for ransom.
These institutions often hold a wealth of personal and sensitive data about tens of thousands of people, and victims of a data breach like this should know their rights for justice.
If you’ve been the victim of a health insurer data breach, it’s important to know your rights; especially when you consider the nature of the information that can be exposed.
Although we have our wonderful public NHS here in the UK, private health insurance is in use by many people. It can often form as part of work perks, or for those with particular conditions they need to manage more effectively.
Health insurers, like all organisations, have an important duty to look after the data that they process and store. However, given that such companies will often use the most personal and sensitive data you can think of, the duty to protect it is even more prevalent.
If you’ve been the victim of unauthorised access to your patient records, it’s important to know that you may be eligible to make a claim for medical data breach compensation.
We’ve discussed these kinds of NHS data breach claims many times before as it’s a common scenario for legal cases that we take forward. Issues like this have also been prevalent in the media following the Information Commissioner’s office (ICO) having to prosecute several employees guilty of breaking the law. They even had to issue a general warning to staff as a reminder to not abuse their rights to access medical data.
This issue is back in the media again following the huge Greater Manchester patients medical records access scandal, which is something we’ve taking a number of cases forward for.
If you were affected by the BA data breach, we have some incredibly important legal advice that we need you to know about now.
There’s a huge hearing set to take place this Friday. At this hearing, the deadline to join the BA Group Action may be set, and there might not be a lot of time for you to start your case.
Our recent exclusive in the media revealed our concerns about the lawyers acting for British Airways and their initial desire for a short cut-off date to join the action. This kind of short cut-off period, if put in place, could lead to hundreds of thousands of people missing out on thousand so pounds in compensation.
If you’ve yet to claim, now is the time to do something about it.
An Isle of Wight Council data breach has arisen where the local authority reportedly sent other people’s information out to residents in dozens of council tax letters.
This appears to be yet another simple data leak that has taken place that involves a local authority. Councils hold a wealth of personal and sensitive data about a huge number of people, and their duty to safeguard it is incredibly important.
We represent many people making claims for council data breach compensation because of how common incidents can be. We’re therefore not surprised by this latest breach, but it’s still very worrying to hear about it; especially now we have GDPR in place that has put data protection in the limelight.
If you’ve been the victim of improper access to medical records that contain your information, you may be able to make a claim for data breach compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
We’ve been helping people claim NHS data breach compensation for this kind of medical records access abuse for a long time now. We’ve also been in contact with victims of the most recent incident of this that involved Greater Manchester patients, and we’ve been taking legal cases forward for those affected.
It’s important to know that NHS staff can be breaking the law when they abuse their access rights, and it’s important for victims to know their rights if this ever happens.
If you’ve yet to speak to the team for legal advice about the recent Charing Cross gender clinic data breach, we’re here and ready to assist you.
We were contacted for help after some 2,000 people were the subject of an email leak that revealed their personal information. Two emails relating to an art competition were sent to around 900 people in each batch using the “CC” function. This should never have been allowed to happen.
This isn’t the first breach of its kind, with our firm prominent in representing people affected by the similar 56 Dean Street Clinic leak. We’ve taken claims for compensation forward on a No Win, No Fee basis as we consider that there’s a successful case to answer for the GIC leak.
If you were affected by the 2018 cyberattack incidents but you’ve yet to find out if you can claim for the BA data breach, here’s how to know if you’re eligible to join the BA Group Action.
It’s important to understand whether you can join the class action as soon as possible. We believe that the lawyers representing British Airways are looking for a short cut-off date for people to join the action. As per our press release this month, we’ve urging people to claim now to avoid missing out.
