Compensation for employee and contractor data breaches

Employee and contractor data breaches can have a significant impact on those who have been affected given the nature of the information that could be leaked or exposed. Both employee and contractor data should be protected as much as each other by any organisation that stores and processes it. In either scenario, the victim of a breach could be entitled to claim compensation.

We take on quite a lot of claims for employee data breaches as the information that can be affected can cause significant distress when it has been misused and/or exposed. The GDPR can entitle the victim of a data breach to claim compensation for any distress that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information. If we think there is a case to answer then we can represent victims on a No Win, No Fee basis as part of our commitment to access to justice.

A recent incident: Hudson Contract

We recently agreed to take legal action for a client whose information has potentially been exposed as a result of a cyberattack affecting the company Hudson Contract. It is understood the emails have been issued to confirm that there has been a potential hack/unauthorised access of their systems, and sensitive information may have been exposed

This could include not just personal contact information but it may potentially include bank details and sensitive contractor data. We do not yet know how many people could be affected by the issue that Hudson Contract are informing people about, but anybody who has received confirmation that they have been affected by a data breach can be entitled to free, no-obligation legal advice with our team here now.

We believe that the victims of a data breach should be entitled to full justice in the recovery of compensation to fairly reflect what they have gone through. Our average settlement is at just over £6,000 per claimant based on damages alone, and we now have cases where we have been able to recover much more than other law firms have quickly and cheaply settled for.
