We’ve taken cases forward for Greater Manchester NHS patients whose medical records have been improperly accessed following an investigation by Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.
We were contacted by patients who had been affected by the data breaches prior to news of the scandal hitting the headlines. We’ve agreed to act for victims affected by the data breaches who match our criteria on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Depending on what information has been improperly accessed, and how this has affected you, we may be able to take a legal case forward on your behalf.
If you’ve been affected by the recent Teletext Holidays data breach, we may be able to represent you for a claim for compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Some 200,000 audio recordings of telephone conversations have been found exposed by media outlet Verdict. The audio files had reportedly been left exposed for over three years on Amazon Web Services, with recordings dated between April and August 2016.
This isn’t the first time a trove of information has been left exposed on an Amazon storage database, whether by a lack of encryption, or where poor security processes are in place.
There are set to be important developments that will likely define the deadlines in the upcoming British Airways court case for the 2018 cyber-attacks.
Following on from our press release in the Daily Mail last week, we revealed that Claimants may only have 17 weeks to join the court action. Those who miss the final cut-off date could lose £6,000.00 based on the average potential pay-outs. In extreme cases, valuations could reach as high as £16,000.00.
There’s a lot more to it than just registering basic information, and even more to it than simply agreeing for a lawyer to represent you. If you’re serious about claiming, you need to take action ASAP!
We’ve been contacted for help and taken a new case forward involving a Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust data breach for unauthorised medical records access.
If you have been informed that your medical records have been accessed without good reason, you may have a claim for NHS data breach compensation. These kinds of cases can be quite common, and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has had to warn medical staff about making sure to not break the law.
Given we are seeing another incident where this appears to have happened, we expect that an ICO fine may be forthcoming. For those who have been contacted and told that their personal and sensitive data has been misused, we may be able to help you.
Our lawyers spoke to the Daily Mail about the British Airways class action and how BA look to be trying to limit the pay-out with a short cut-off to join the group case.
We’ve been pressing a lot recently about the need for those who are serious about making a data breach compensation claim as victims of the BA cyber attacks to sign-up now to avoid missing out. With BA’s lawyers launching their own unprecedented action, we’re concerned that some people could easily miss out with a short deadline of just 17 WEEKS to join the case.
We can’t stress enough how vitally important it is that you start your case on our BA Group Action site here to avoid missing out on potentially thousands of pounds in compensation.
Following last year’s serious cyber attacks that affected hundreds of thousands of their customers, the recent British Airways strikes have undoubtedly contributed to another big hit on the IAG-owned airline’s public image.
We’ve talked a lot recently about the concerns we have as lawyers fighting for justice in the BA Group Action. We’ve spoken to the media and have been in the news ourselves about the issues we have with the way the legal cases are going. It seems to us that the lawyers acting for BA are perhaps trying to get a short cut-off date for the court action. This could lead to hundreds of thousands of people missing out on the chance to claim
Add the strikes into the mix, and it seems to me that British Airways has a lot to work to do if they want to improve their reputation.
Wokingham Council data leaks have hit the news again after media reports of a number of incidents where information has reportedly been sent to the wrong people.
These kinds of leaks can be awfully common, which is why a large number of the cases we take forward for people are council data breach compensation claims.
With the sheer wealth of information that councils hold, and the personal and sensitive nature of it, any leak, breach or hack can be serious.
We’re representing victims who are claiming compensation as a result of the Charing Cross GIC leak, and we know there are questions and concerns from those whose data has been exposed.
We’re used to advising people when these kinds of things happen. We’re fighting for justice in dozens of data breach compensation action, and this includes the similar 56 Dean Street Clinic leak.
Unfortunately, we can’t turn back the clock; but you don’t have to suffer in silence either. Here’s how we can help you.
We have commenced work for a compensation action in light of the Charing Cross Clinic data leak that was announced last Friday.
We were approached immediately for advice and legal representation, and we have agreed to act for any victim who comes forward for our help on a No Win, No Fee basis.
This email leak was entirely avoidable, and is a tragic repeat of previous data leaks that were just as preventable. We have recovered tens of thousands of pounds in damages for victims of the similar 56 Dean Street Clinic email leak where many claims remain ongoing. That was also another case of an email sent to hundreds of people where the recipient list was visible to all other recipients.
We have been contacted for help as a result of the Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic email leak that has reportedly affected almost 2,000 people.
We understand that two separate emails relating to an art competition were sent by the patient and public involvement team, with around 900 individuals CC’d into each email. This is a clear breach of the victims’ rights to privacy, and we will be taking action for anyone who has been affected.
As lawyers who are fighting for justice for victims of the 56 Dean Street Clinic leak, with tens of thousands of pounds in damages already recovered, we are committed to helping anyone who has been affected by this latest email leak.
