Unlawful Disclosure of Accident Data

The unlawful disclosure of accident data has been a problem that has been ongoing for many years, including since the referral fee system ban in 2013.

We are proud to have never engaged in the market for buying and selling claims, with our clients coming directly to us. We never believed it was a good system, which is why we avoided it. We understand the distress that can be caused and how people can feel harassed when information about accident data is being passed around.

Any information disclosure that is a breach of the GDPR could allow victims to recover compensation for any distress caused by the loss of control of their personal information. You can talk to our team here now for free, no-obligation legal advice.

Claim compensation for the unlawful disclosure of accident data

You could be entitled to claim compensation for the unlawful disclosure of accident data that involves you, and this has been a problem that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has had to issue punishments for.

We lawyers know all too well about the substantial market there is for legal services in respect of negligence claims. We are proud that we have never engaged in the buying and selling of claims, with our clients coming directly to us for our services. We have never believed in the referral fee system and, since its ban, there remains somewhat of an underground market for accident data given how valuable it can be.

There have been many incidents of the unlawful disclosure of accident data by people who act of their own volition when working in companies with access to such information. There have also been cases where the referral fee bans have been bypassed and people’s information has ended up in the hands of claims companies.

Ultimately, any unlawful disclosure of accident data can be a breach of the GDPR. We know how stressful it can be to be hounded with calls to try to get you to sign-up for legal services. Again, whilst never engaged in such practices, I have received plenty of calls over many years about accidents I have allegedly been involved in. It is annoying, it can make us angry, and it can ultimately cause significant distress, particularly for those of us who are vulnerable in society.

Anybody affected by an incident of this nature could be entitled to claim GDPR compensation.
