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.
As a victim whose data has been exposed or misused, you can be eligible to make a claim for compensation for cybersecurity incidents.
Whether the incident has taken place at a business who you use the services for, at work, or at your local hospital, you may have a legal case. GDPR and Data Protection Act legislation allows for a victim to be entitled to receive damages for the impact of leaks, breaches and hacks. As expert data lawyers who pioneered some of the earliest cases and actions, we may be able to help you.
Here’s a little advice about when you may be able to claim and what we could do for you.
Want to know more about the British Airways data breach compensation claim and what you need to do to sign-up if you were affected?
Here’s a quick guide on a few things that you need to know about the BA Group Action and how the No Win, No Fee works.
As specialist data breach lawyers, we’ve been representing victims of the 2018 cyber-attacks since news of the incidents broke. This is one of the dozens of different data breach group and multi-party actions we’re proudly fighting for justice in. With us, you know you’re claiming with the experts; our history speaks for itself!
The risks when it comes to a local council data breach event are incredibly high. One of the primary types of cases that we take forward involve local government authorities and agencies, so we can tell you from experience that they’re worryingly common.
There are many reasons as to why council data breach compensation claims are so common. There are a lot of doorways to data in the public sector, and there’s a wealth of information that’s being stored and processed by local governments. The nature of the information they store and process usually covers the whole spectrum: from personal, to financial, and to medical.
Victims of a council data breach can be entitled to compensation, and it’s important that victims if an incident understand their rights.
Human error data breaches remain one of the number one causes when it comes to data protection incidents, and it’s important for victims of these kinds of breaches to know their rights.
The important thing to know is that it doesn’t stop you being able to claim if the cause of a breach stems from an error by a human. The organisation that employs the person can be held liable for a legal case, and in this article, we’ll explain why.
It’s not an acceptable excuse for an organisation to simply try and defend a claim on the basis that the fault lies with a human.
As expert Data Leak Lawyers who specialise and focus on data protection compensation claims, we believe that people ought to be concerned about health app data breaches.
There are many ways these breaches can occur, and when it comes to medical data, we’re talking about some of the most private and sensitive information there is.
The app market continues to grow, and the popularity of health apps is understood to be on the rise as well. Ultimately, the companies behind these apps could be gathering – and maybe even sharing – more data than many people realise. On top of that, the risks of leaks and hacks is a cause for concern.
We’re issuing an early warning in terms of the British Airways claim deadline that may be scheduled to land very soon.
With our lawyers working in dozens of group actions for a number of years, and having seen people miss the deadlines a lot, it’s important to start a case sooner rather than later. We’re still getting fresh enquiries for one of the recent group actions we’ve been involved in where the cut-off date elapsed last year. We really can’t stress enough how important it is that you get your claim set up and started as soon as you can.
Missing the deadline usually means missing out on compensation, and in the BA Group Action, the deadlines could be extremely short.
If you’re not sure about how to make a GDPR claim, here’s some advice about what you can do to make sure you get the justice you deserve as a victim of a data breach incident.
The new GDPR that came into force in 2018 allows for victims whose information has been exposed or misused to be able to claim compensation. You can be entitled to claim damages for any distress caused and for any financial losses as well. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more the data breach compensation pay-out could be.
A really important thing to know is that the GDPR fines that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) issues are not intended to be compensation for victims. When it comes to justice for the victims, you should speak to a lawyer! As a law firm, here’s out advice in how to make a GDPR claim.
