Inadequate data protection can occur when organisations fail to implement robust security measures, leaving sensitive information vulnerable to breaches. These failures can result from outdated systems, insufficient staff training, or neglecting to follow regulations like the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Such breaches can expose personal details like names, addresses, financial information, or medical records, leading to emotional distress, financial loss, or identity theft. The Data Leak Lawyers has successfully recovered millions of pounds for victims, with our average settlement at over £6,000 a case, demonstrating the real impact of these failures and what can be done about them.
Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you can have the right to seek compensation for both material (e.g., financial losses) and non-material (e.g., emotional distress) damages caused by a data breach. You do not need to have suffered a financial loss to make a claim; distress alone, such as anxiety from a privacy violation, is sufficient.
The Data Leak Lawyers has represented thousands of clients in cases ranging from NHS data leaks to employer mishandling of employee information. Our team can help you prove negligence, such as when organisations fail to secure data or send sensitive information to the wrong recipient. Compensation amounts can typically depend on the breach’s severity, with higher awards for significant distress or harm.
The Data Leak Lawyers offers expert, no-win, no-fee legal representation to ensure you face no worries when pursuing a claim. Our process begins with a free, no-obligation consultation to assess your case, whether it involves a hacked email, a lost laptop, or a large-scale cyberattack.
