Claim for cosmetic surgery data breach issues

You could be entitled to claim compensation for a cosmetic surgery data breach issue, and we may be able to represent you for a legal case on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Generally speaking, the more severe a data breach is, the more a claim can be worth. We will often assess this based on factors such as the nature of the information involved.

When you consider medical information, this is precisely the type of data that we want to remain private and confidential, so we often find that the distress that people suffer when such information is misused or exposed can be substantial. As such, it is important that anybody who suffers as a result of a medical data breach accesses the justice they deserve and seeks compensation for what has happened to them. We can provide free, no-obligation legal advice to anybody who needs our help here now.

Can you claim for a cosmetic surgery data breach incident?

You could be entitled to claim compensation for a cosmetic surgery data breach incident where your personal and private information relating to treatment or consultations has been exposed or misused.

Understandably, this kind of information is particularly personal and sensitive, and many of us do not want everybody knowing everything about us in respect of cosmetic medical matters. As such, not only do cosmetic surgery treatment providers have the usual duties in accordance with the GDPR to protect the information in their charge, but they must also recognise that such data can be classed as “special category” information. Special category data means that it needs to be treated in a different way because of how personal and sensitive it can be.

If you suffer distress as a result of losing control over your right to privacy in respect of a cosmetic surgery data breach incident, we may be able to represent you for a legal case on a No Win, No Fee basis. The best thing to do is contact our team here now for free, no-obligation legal advice.

Medical matters are often sensitive

We have already referenced above about medical matters being particularly sensitive because this is precisely the kind of information that we want to have strict control over. We do not want everybody knowing everything about us anyway, but when it comes to treatment and consultations, medical details are matters that we want to remain private and confidential.

As such, any cosmetic surgery data breach incident could leave the victim suffering significant distress, and we will make sure that this is accounted for in any pay-outs that we achieve for our clients. The GDPR can entitle people to recover compensation for the distress alone and this, in a case such as this, can be incredibly severe

NHS data breach claim for cosmetic matters

It is also important to discuss any NHS data breach claims for compensation in respect of cosmetic procedures as some procedures and treatments are available on the NHS.

Ultimately, as stated above, the same principle applies in that the NHS as an organisation – storing and processing particularly personal and sensitive information – has an important duty to protect it and prevent breaches from taking place. If they fail in this duty, they can be in breach of the GDPR, which means that they can be liable to compensate you in a claim for damages.
