Compensation cases for a data breach

Compensation cases for a data breach are legal actions in which victims whose information has been misused and/or exposed are pursuing damages for any distress or loss that has been caused. The GDPR can entitle victims of such data breaches to claim compensation, and we represent victims on a No Win, No Fee basis when they are eligible.

The GDPR can entitle the victim to claim compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. The law entitles us to control over our private data, so the law recognises that breaches can be upsetting for us and can cause people to feel anxious and angry. This distress is what people can claim for and, depending on the nature of the information that has been exposed and how it has impacted them, claims can be worth thousands of pounds.

If you have suffered any losses or expenses from fraud or theft where your personal information has been misused or exposed, you may be entitled to recover compensation for that as well. These are known as Special Damages, but you do not have to have lost any money to be able to claim as you can pursue a case just the distress alone which is known as General Damages.

How we can help you now

Pursuing compensation cases for a data breach, leak or a hack is our speciality. We represent thousands of clients who are engaged in individual claims and in dozens of group and multi-party litigation actions, many of which stem from cyberattacks.

We can assess your case on a free and no-obligation basis, and all you need to do is get in touch with us using the contact form below. Once we have spoken about what has happened, if we believe that we can help you, we may be able to offer to represent you there and then on a No Win, No Fee basis. If you are happy for us to do so, we can then launch your claim for compensation and persuade the other side to accept liability and agree to pay you damages. We will then work out how much you could be entitled to claim based on the individual factors of your case, and we will use our experience to make sure that we can maximise the pay-out that you could be entitled to receive.

No Win, No Fee legal representation

If we are confident that there is a case to answer, we may be able to represent you for a claim on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that we can pursue compensation cases for a data breach on the basis that we can write off our legal fees if the claim does not succeed. All we ask is that you comply with the reasonable terms and conditions that we have in place.

We work on this basis because of our commitment to access to justice. We also recognise that many people would not be able to claim if they had to pay privately for a case. It is a considered risk as we will assess the claim before we proceed with it and move it forward on this basis if we think there is a good chance of being able to secure compensation for you.
