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.

A previous report revealed that boxes of paper patient records and staff notes were reportedly left unsecured in a Norfolk care home following its closure several years previously. Despite past assurances of onsite security measures for the unoccupied building, it was possible for a local reporter to apparently walk onto the site through an open door, after which they found hoards of abandoned medical records left inside.
This was an example of how this kind of event could easily happen, though it was completely avoidable. Such violations of data protection law are always unacceptable, but they are particularly concerning where such sensitive information is involved.
We trust healthcare providers to do their utmost to protect our private data, so it is shocking that an organisation would neglect its data protection duties in these circumstances.
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.
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.
