healthcare data protection breaches

Healthcare data protection breaches

Despite the degree of trust we invest in doctors and other healthcare professionals, lapses in data protection still take place far too often within healthcare organisations. Given the sensitivity of medical information, healthcare data protection breaches can profoundly affect victims, many of whom can suffer from significant distress when they discover that their privacy has been compromised.

A number of serious data security incidents involving patient information have been reported in recent years, yet this negative coverage does not seem to have persuaded all healthcare organisations to improve their data protection strategies. Even small missteps can cause mass data exposure, which is why there is no room for error when it comes to data security.

At Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – we specialise in data breach compensation claims. We are determined to hold organisations accountable for any failure to comply with data protection law. If you have had data compromised or exposed by a healthcare organisation, you may be entitled to claim compensation – you can contact us to receive free, no-obligation legal advice on your potential eligibility to claim here now.

Snooping on medical records – £15,000 damages award

The expert data team here at Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – was successful in securing a £15,000 damages pay-out that was awarded to our client who was the victim of someone snooping on medical records.

This kind of data breach is a serious and often malicious invasion of privacy that must not go unpunished. The UK’s data regulator, the ICO, can issue fines and prosecutions arising from such incidents, but it is up to us as lawyers to represent victims in civil compensation matters.

The award in this case of £15,000 in compensation for damages is a substantial one that reflects the impact that our client suffered as a result of what happened.

The context of a data breach: why a £20,000 settlement?

The context of a data breach is incredibly important to consider, and is why some claims can settle for much higher values than others, such as a previous one we resolved for £20,000.

Ultimately, a claim for compensation is about assessing the impact that has been caused to a data breach victim. This can differ from person to person, and the context of an incident is one of the key things we need to consider, as we will outline below.

breach of confidential information at a GP
March 22, 2023

Breach of confidential information at a GP surgery

The medical profession is built on the principle of doctor-patient confidentiality, in which patients trust when disclosing highly sensitive information to healthcare professionals. In particular, the relationship between a patient and their GP involves a great degree of trust, as patients often visit the same GP for years. It can, therefore, be extremely distressing to suffer a breach of confidential information at a GP surgery.

Healthcare data breaches can arise in a number of different ways, whether due to the carelessness of individual employees, or the failed security of data storage systems. Unfortunately, the continued occurrence of data breaches in the healthcare sector risks breaking down the relationships between healthcare professionals and patients.

If you have had your confidential medical information exposed or compromised by your GP surgery, you could be entitled to claim compensation. The GDPR can allow victims whose rights have been violated to launch data breach claims. To receive free legal advice about your potential eligibility, contact our expert lawyers.
