The leading team at Your Lawyers – the Data Leak Lawyers – was able to settle a privacy compensation matter in the sum of £10,000 that involved the disclosure of mental health information.
The disclosure arose from an entirely avoidable error that had a significant impact on our client, as we will outline below.
The expert data team here at Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – was successful in securing a £15,000 damages pay-out that was awarded to our client who was the victim of someone snooping on medical records.
This kind of data breach is a serious and often malicious invasion of privacy that must not go unpunished. The UK’s data regulator, the ICO, can issue fines and prosecutions arising from such incidents, but it is up to us as lawyers to represent victims in civil compensation matters.
The award in this case of £15,000 in compensation for damages is a substantial one that reflects the impact that our client suffered as a result of what happened.
The context of a data breach is incredibly important to consider, and is why some claims can settle for much higher values than others, such as a previous one we resolved for £20,000.
Ultimately, a claim for compensation is about assessing the impact that has been caused to a data breach victim. This can differ from person to person, and the context of an incident is one of the key things we need to consider, as we will outline below.
We are pleased that we have been able to recover in excess of £30,000 in compensation for a serious data breach incident. The crux of this case involved the potential harm to your career that could be caused by a privacy incident.

In this kind of incident, particularly personal and sensitive information can be misused or exposed. As such, it can be expected that the impact on a client can be significant.
This is why we are sometimes able to recover substantial sums in matters of this nature, as we were able to in this particular case.
The team at Your Lawyers secured a £15,000 settlement for a social services data breach that resulted in significant distress to our client, arising from an avoidable disclosure event.
This case was another example where information was disclosed by social services that should not have been disclosed in the first place. Unfortunately, the result was catastrophic for our client. We are satisfied that we were able to secure a settlement as some form of justice for what they had to go through.
