Compensation for data breaches from phishing emails

You could be eligible to claim compensation for data breaches from phishing emails and attacks where they are successful and your information has been misused or exposed.

The GDPR means that our rights are enshrined in law in terms of our information being protected, and our right to control over it. If the GDPR is breached, that is when an organisation can be negligent and, therefore, can be responsible to compensate a victim for what has happened.

Compensation for data breaches affecting children

Data breaches affecting children can cause significant distress and worry, both for the minor and for their parents.

In a similar way that an adult can, a child can also bring a claim for compensation and they will normally do this via a parent or guardian. The GDPR can still entitle them to pursue a case, and we can still represent a child on a No Win, No Fee basis for a legal claim.

To speak to our team for a free, no-obligation chat about pursuing a claim on behalf of a minor, please do not hesitate to contact us here now.
