Medical data is some of the most personal and sensitive information that there can be about us, so for this to be misused or exposed in a workplace setting can cause considerable distress.

disclosure without consent

Over £9,000 recovered for disclosure without consent

We previously recovered over £9,000 in damages for a client who we represented in a matter that involved disclosure without consent that caused understandable distress.

All organisations must comply with the GDPR, and consent when it comes to the disclosure or publication of information is one of the most basic aspects of privacy compliance.

Your Lawyers – as Leading Data Leak Lawyers – is used to representing victims who have been affected by incidents in which information has been breached, leaked, or hacked. If particularly personal and sensitive information has been disclosed without consent, we appreciate the significant distress that can be caused when such an event takes place.

healthcare data protection breaches

Healthcare data protection breaches

Despite the degree of trust we invest in doctors and other healthcare professionals, lapses in data protection still take place far too often within healthcare organisations. Given the sensitivity of medical information, healthcare data protection breaches can profoundly affect victims, many of whom can suffer from significant distress when they discover that their privacy has been compromised.

A number of serious data security incidents involving patient information have been reported in recent years, yet this negative coverage does not seem to have persuaded all healthcare organisations to improve their data protection strategies. Even small missteps can cause mass data exposure, which is why there is no room for error when it comes to data security.

At Your Lawyers – The Data Leak Lawyers – we specialise in data breach compensation claims. We are determined to hold organisations accountable for any failure to comply with data protection law. If you have had data compromised or exposed by a healthcare organisation, you may be entitled to claim compensation – you can contact us to receive free, no-obligation legal advice on your potential eligibility to claim here now.

Snooping on medical records – £15,000 damages award

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.
