Find A Data Breach Solicitor
Everybody has a right to expect that the personal data that they have shared with a business or organisation will be properly and securely stored and not shared without permission. When this is not the case and personal or sensitive information has been mistakenly shared, lost or stolen, you could make a claim for compensation.
This is where you need the expertise of top data breach solicitors to help you pursue you right to be compensated. When a data breach occurs this can cause you financial loss as well as massive inconvenience.

Can I Make A Claim Using A Data Breach Solicitor?
If your personal data has been leaked, share or stolen, then it is likely that you have a valid data breach claim for which you will need a solicitor. We can put you in touch with a data breach law firm who will be able to look into thing for you to see if there is a case worth pursuing.
Usually the first you will hear about any potential claim will come via a notification from the business or organisation from which your data has been leaked. This may have been by email or letter, so if you receive such a notification don’t ignore it.
Often data breach law firms may pool together claimants under a collective group litigation if a specific data breach occurred that affected multiple people within set time period.
What Compensation Could A Data Breach Solicitor Claim On My Behalf?
A data breach solicitor will work on your behalf to secure the maximum compensation to which you are entitled. This would include not only compensation for any financial losses, but also due to any distress caused by the data breach.
Examples of financial impact might include losses incurred as a result of cybercriminals applying for credit cards or setting up fraudulent bank accounts using your stolen data or even gaining accessing your own existing bank accounts. Even if the breach has not led to any specific financial loss to you, you are still entitled to claim compensation for the distress, worry and inconvenience resulting from the data breach.

Commonly asked questions
In the event of a data breach, whether caused through an error, leak, or theft, an organisation is required to inform those that may have been affected. Usually the first you will hear if your data has been breached might be an email or letter from the company concerned. Sometimes you may hear about it first in the media when a company has been fined by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
When you contact us, we’ll put you in touch with an expert data breach solicitor who will be able to contact the company in question and use any information you have provides plus that available from the ICO to establish whether your data has indeed been breached.
It’s not just financial losses that are taken into consideration when it comes to data breach compensation. If an organisation has failed to securely store your data, your data breach solicitor can claim for any distress that has been caused to you as a result of the data breach.
Each data breach is different and will be judged on its own merits. A low level data breach might bring compensation of around £750, whereas a breach that might involve highly sensitive personal data (such as medical records) would be expected to have a higher level of compensation. Where the data breach has caused large financial loss, then this would be taken into consideration when the level of compensation was being set.
The solicitors we put you in touch with work on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning that there is no risk to you in claiming as if your claim is not successful, you are not required to pay anything. Only in the event of a successful compensation claim would you be required to pay a percentage of your settlement to your data breach firm.
