Watford Community Housing Data Breach Advice

Legal Right To Claim Compensation

As a victim of the Watford Community Housing data breach, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation with us on a No Win, No Fee basis.

This kind of breach is incredibly personal and sensitive which means that getting the right legal advice and representation is important. We already represent victims claiming in some of the most serious breaches of privacy to have ever taken place, including the 56 Dean Street Clinic leak of 2015 and last year’s Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic leak. Both are similar email leaks where sensitive information was inadvertently disclosed in a “human error” email incident. In reality, these kinds of email data leaks are entirely avoidable when proper systems and software are used in place of risky manual processes like this.

Our lawyers have decades of experience in representing people for compensation claims. When it comes to the niche area of data protection law, we’ve been representing people for privacy breaches since 2014, with our first data action like this taken forward in 2015 (the 56 Dean Street incident).

This is a lot longer than most other law firms. Only in the last couple of years have other firms started to specifically take data cases forward, and we’ve seen a great deal of concerning marketing claims being made by some companies. This is why we prefer to let our experience speak for itself instead of using generic buzzwords and making misleading claims.

We’re pioneers in this area of law for the following simple reasons:

• Our history dating back to 2014 for privacy breach compensation cases;
• Our position on the Steering Committee for the first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales, the British Airways data group action;
• Our involvement in over 50 separate data breach actions;
• Our regular coverage in mainstream media – including last week’s huge coverage of our estimated £4.5bn Virgin Media Data Breach Compensation Action;
• The fact that thousands of people have come to us for our help and expertise.

We feel that the importance of raising this is increasing as more and more breaches take place and more firms start to tout for you to place your case with them. It’s totally up to you as to who you instruct to represent you for a case – that’s your right – but we wouldn’t be doing our job unless we make clear that this area of law remains in its infancy, and we don’t want people to be exploited by dodgy firms or fall victim to poor legal services.

Our experience speaks for itself and means you know that we’re a leading firm of data breach lawyers. To speak to our team today about making a Watford Community Housing data breach compensation claim, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
