If you were affected by the 2018 cyber-attack incidents, you can be entitled to make a No Win, No Fee British Airways compensation claim.
The British Airways Group Action is one of the dozens of multi-party legal cases we’re fighting for justice in. As expert data protection compensation lawyers who have been helping victims claim for many years, we’re proud to be able to offer our specialised services on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Here’s a little guidance about how the No Win, No Fee works when it comes to a BA compensation claim that arises from the cyber breach incidents of 2018.
If you’ve yet to start your British Airways compensation claim, it’s not too late to sign-up to the pending group action that we’re fighting for justice in.
We’ve been representing victims of the data breaches since news of the cyber-attacks hit the headlines last year. We’re now representing a number of victims who have been affected, and we’re pursuing legal action for them on a No Win, No Fee basis.
If you’re serious about claiming, we urge you to make sure you sign-up as soon as you can to avoid missing any key deadlines that may occur during the course of the legal action. Here’s a little information about what you need to know.
The recent record-setting British Airways and Marriott fines that are to be enforced by regulators show the importance of cybersecurity to prevent breaches, and justice for the victims when an incident occurs.
What we saw was two major organisations whose systems were breached when we should be able to expect big corporations to protect our data. We should be able to safely assume that these large, wealthy organisations can – and will – invest in solid cybersecurity. But both have undoubtedly fallen short, and the result is huge fines and claims for compensation for the victims.
The levels of the provisional fines to be enforced shows how seriously the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is taking breaches of GDPR. The compensation actions that we represent people for are the way forward when it comes to justice for victims, which is not accounted for as part of regulatory fines.
You can join the British Airways compensation action by answering a few simple questions here to check your eligibility. If you qualify, we just need a little information and we can get you on board right away.
News of the recent £183m initial fine proposed by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has naturally triggered a fresh influx of new claims. We’re happy to keep taking more clients on in addition to those we’ve been acting for since news of the scandal broke last year.
But people do need to act as soon as they can. There may be deadlines that could fast approach, and missing the deadline could mean missing out on your chance to claim.
A number of people have been unsure as to how the £183m BA GDPR fine works in relation to compensation. They are two separate things, and here’s how it works.
Firstly, the record fine is the current proposal, and British Airways and their owner (IAG) can appeal the decision. Whether any appeal will be successful remains to be seen, but crucially, this is not yet the final fine. However, there will likely be a fine. Even if an appeal is successful, we expect that the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is still going to issue a fine.
In terms of compensation, this is dealt with separately as part of a pending group action that you can sign-up for here.
The British Airways compensation deadline for the pending group action we’re representing people for could come around incredibly fast.
The lawyers acting for BA appear to be wanting a quick cut-off date which could see this close off as the fastest Group Litigation Order (GLO) ever processed. As such, we must warn anyone who has yet to join that the deadline for submitting a claim could be very, very soon.
You can sign-up to join the action now, and we recommend that you do so as a matter of urgency. Missing the deadline could mean losing your chance to claim compensation as a victim of the 2018 data breaches.
With this week’s news focused on big GDPR fines for British Airways and Marriott, we can only assume that more fines are on the way.
Our lawyers are fighting for justice in over 25 different data breach group and multi-party actions. That shows just how many big legal cases we’ve taken forward, and some of the incidents took place after GDPR was introduced last year. The BA Group Action is one of those, and the initial fine of £183m shows just how serious the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is on punishing offenders.
With the likes of the Ticketmaster data breach and the Well Pharmacy incidents yet to involve penalties, we expect more big fines to be on the horizon.
The provisional British Airways data breach fine has been set at a record-high of £183m as a result of the 2018 data breach incidents, and the compensation action is underway.
We’ve been representing claimants since news of the scandal broke back in September last year, and since news of the GDPR fine hit the headlines, we’ve received an influx of new inquiries.
The provisional fine that has been issued by the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) reflects the severity of the breach and the impact that the victims have suffered. However, the issue of compensation is separate, and you can sign-up to join the BA Group Action here.
The BA data breach fine is set to be a record £183m; the first major fine of its kind in the UK since the new GDPR rules came into force last year.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has referenced poor security that led to the information for hundreds of thousands of people to be comprised. We’re acting on behalf of a number of victims of the breach, and news of the fine has led to an influx of new inquiries.
There’s still time to join the British Airways data breach compensation action. We’re fighting for justice for victims on a No Win, No Fee basis as part of the pending group action for damages.
With the potential for deadlines for joining the pending BA group action for compensation arising from the 2018 data breach coming soon, here’s what you need to know.
If you were affected by one or both of the 2018 data breaches, you may qualify to make a claim for compensation. If you have received confirmation that you were affected, that should be enough for you to join our group. For more information about the breach, please see our information page here.
We have been representing claimants since news of the breaches hit the headlines last year, and our advice is to sign-up for a case as soon as you can. Here’s a quick guide for you.
