What are Data leak compensation cases?

Data leak compensation cases are legal claims in which the victim of a data leak sues for damages by way of monetary compensation for the impact that a breach has had on them. The GDPR not only governs best practices and regulations in respect of how information is stored and processed, but it also can entitle victims to pursue compensation in the event of a breach.

The GDPR can entitle us to control who knows what about us in terms of our personal information. The GDPR can allow the victim of a data leak to pursue compensation for any distress that has been suffered that is caused by the loss of control of personal information. If the loss of control of our information also causes you to incur losses or expenses, these can also be considered. Importantly, you can just claim for the distress alone which most privacy compensation cases are for.

What could you claim for?

We will usually value data leak compensation cases based on General Damages and Special Damages.

General damages can cover any distress caused which can be measured by assessing what information is involved, how much is involved, and the impact on the person. The context of the data leak could also be considered, such as who information has been exposed to and why this might matter. Special Damages can cover the losses and expenses element, if this is applicable. This could be losses for time off work caused by the significant distress that you have suffered, or it could be lost money from fraud or theft.

Depending on the extent of the suffering and losses, claims could be worth thousands of pounds, and our average data breach compensation settlement is at just over £6,000 per claim. This is just for the compensation damages only. As such, it is well worth pursuing a claim in our view, especially as we may be able to help you on a No Win, No Fee basis, which we will go into more detail about below.
