Healthcare data violations

A healthcare environment is somewhere that we should expect to feel safe and protected, trusting the doctors and other healthcare professionals who owe us a duty of care. But it is not only our health and well-being that we entrust to healthcare organisations, as they are also responsible for protecting the incredibly sensitive personal and health information that we disclose to them. Unfortunately, healthcare data violations can continue to erode the relationship of trust between patients and healthcare providers.

Whether an employee has viewed medical records without authorisation, or failed cybersecurity has allowed hackers to access private stores of patient data, all medical information breaches can have a profound impact on the affected patients. It is unacceptable that so many of these incidents continue to occur, as the organisations responsible for them may actually be violating the data protection laws they are required to comply with.

If you have been affected by a healthcare data breach, you may be able to recover compensation via a data breach claim. Our expert lawyers can offer free, no-obligation advice on your potential eligibility.
