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.
We are pleased that we have been able to recover in excess of £30,000 in compensation for a serious data breach incident. The crux of this case involved the potential harm to your career that could be caused by a privacy incident.
The team here at Your Lawyers are pleased to have recovered over £12,000 in compensation for a client who suffered due to a leak of pensions information.
In this kind of incident, particularly personal and sensitive information can be misused or exposed. As such, it can be expected that the impact on a client can be significant.
This is why we are sometimes able to recover substantial sums in matters of this nature, as we were able to in this particular case.
The team at Your Lawyers secured a £15,000 settlement for a social services data breach that resulted in significant distress to our client, arising from an avoidable disclosure event.
This case was another example where information was disclosed by social services that should not have been disclosed in the first place. Unfortunately, the result was catastrophic for our client. We are satisfied that we were able to secure a settlement as some form of justice for what they had to go through.
The circumstances of some data breach compensation cases almost seem impossible to imagine, which includes one that we settled damages for involving medical records left on public transport.
In this particular case, our leading data breach compensation team was able to achieve a fantastic settlement for our client in the sum of £13,000 for the misuse of their private information.
The firm recently settled a case for a client involving the disclosure of mental health information where we were able to recover in excess of £10,000 in damages.
This was another pleasing result for our dedicated privacy and data protection compensation team helping people when their right to privacy has been breached.
