Making an NHS privacy breach compensation claim

You could be eligible to make an NHS privacy breach compensation claim if your healthcare data or personal details have been misused or exposed in this kind of setting. When it comes to medical data, this is some of the most personal and sensitive information that there can be about us. That is why it is afforded additional protection in accordance with the GDPR, often known as “special category” information.

The law recognises that this is exactly the kind of data that we want to maintain strict confidentiality over, given the nature of it. As such, if it is ever misused or exposed, the impact on the victim could be substantial.

In short, if you have suffered distress or loss as a result of losing control of your personal information through no fault of your own, you could be eligible to pursue a legal case. If we believe your claim is one that we can succeed with, we can offer to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis.

The importance of pursuing a legal case

It is incredibly important to pursue an NHS privacy breach compensation claim to obtain some form of access to justice for what has happened to you. As we said above, this kind of data is particularly personal and sensitive, so the distress that victims can suffer in these kinds of circumstances can often be severe. It can be incredibly worrying and upsetting to know that our private medical information has been misused or exposed, and the GDPR can allow people to claim compensation for the distress that has been suffered.

Most people pursue privacy compensation claims for distress as opposed to any other losses and expenses, which are often not applicable in claims. If they are relevant, they can be considered, but most people are claiming just for the distress alone, which can be significant enough to warrant pay-outs in the thousands of pounds region. In fact, in many medical privacy compensation claims, it is not uncommon for us to recover damages in excess of £10,000, owing to the severity of the impact on our client.

The need for real experts on your side

When it comes to proceeding with privacy compensation claims, it is essential to get the right legal experts on your side. This is more so when it comes to an NHS privacy breach compensation case.

We have been working in this niche and complex area of law for almost a decade, which is a lot longer than many other firms out there, which means that our expertise is greater than many of those other firms. We are proven experts because we know that there are firms that have settled claims for much less than we would have been able to settle them for in our view. In fact, we do know some actual settlements that were much less than we had also settled cases for, so this is certainly an accurate observation.

Instructing the right legal expert can make sure that you get true access to justice and obtain the pay-out that you legally deserve. An inexperienced legal team could leave you grossly under-settling your claim.
