NHS data security breach compensation claims

NHS data security breach compensation claims are some of the most significant that we represent people for as a leading firm of Data Leak Lawyers in the UK.

Our medical information is some of the most private and personal there can be about us, which is why the law specifically protects it and allows us to control who knows what about our healthcare information. If we were to lose this control as a result of a data security breach, the distress that can be caused can be significant. This is why the law recognises this impact and can allow victims of such a breach to claim GDPR compensation, and we can offer No Win No Fee representation to eligible clients.

Public sector GDPR fines set to change

Public sector GDPR fines are set to change following an open letter that has been published by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in recent weeks.

It is looking like there may be a shift in focus away from the need to issue large fines in the public sector, and instead focusing on how standards could be raised across the board.

Regulatory fines are a separate matter to the rights of victims who can still be eligible to claim compensation for any distress or loss that has been caused by a data breach. You should always contact our data privacy team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now.
