Compensation Claims for Consumer Data Breaches

Compensation claims for consumer data breaches can allow thousands of people to group their cases together into one efficient set of legal proceedings.

Court proceedings may be brought together to form a Group Litigation Order (GLO) which can be the best way to proceed with large volumes of cases where there are similar or identical issues. In a data breach setting, this usually means that singular events such as a cyberattack or a leak has led to the information for a large number of people being affected. Rather than pursuing thousands or even millions of individual claims, people can bring their cases together to better resolve the issues.

Claiming compensation for consumer data breaches

We represent thousands of people who are claiming compensation for consumer data breaches in England and Wales. Although we represent individual claimants as well, a large number of those who we help are engaged in actions for consumer data breaches because of how major and sizable these events can be.

One leak or one cyberattack can lead to the information for millions of people potentially being affected. All those people may have suffered as a result of a breach of the GDPR which means that they could then be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.

A consumer action case will often be pursued as one group to allow people to bring their compensation claims into one efficient action and as part of one set of court proceedings. This is often known as a Group Litigation Order (GLO) which can allow lawyers to efficiently pursue a large number of claims in the best way possible. Whilst claims in a consumer action can still be settled on their own individual merits, we can resolve the identical or similar issues together.

Dozens of group and multi-party actions

We are involved in group actions for dozens of consumer data breaches, representing thousands of people who have been affected by a single or prolonged event.

As we have been working in this niche and complex area of law for so long, we have represented people in some of the earlier major cyberattacks, such as pursuing compensation claims for those affected by the TalkTalk cyberattack from 2015. We also represent people who were affected by the major Equifax hack that took place in 2017, and we are pursuing GDPR compensation claims for thousands of people affected by the British Airways cyberattacks that took place in 2018. These are just a few of the group data breach compensation cases that we represent people for, having launched over 50 now for close to a decade.
