Data Breach Claims

Data Breach Claims

A data breach occurs when personal information is lost, stolen, accessed, or disclosed without permission. This can happen due to poor security systems, cyberattacks, human error, or negligence by an organisation. Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, organisations are legally obliged to protect your data.

In today’s digital world, organisations collect and store vast amounts of personal data—everything from financial information to medical records. When companies fail to protect this sensitive information, it can have devastating consequences for individuals.

No win No fee

Our panel solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s nothing to pay upfront or if your case is unsuccessful. If successful, fees range between 25%–50% + VAT (capped at 30% + VAT for financial claims), depending on the legal assistant, , claim type, and circumstances.

All fees are agreed upfront and detailed in your solicitor’s agreement. We may receive marketing fees for successful referrals, but you’re under no obligation to use our panel solicitors.

Examples of Data Breaches

  • Cyberattacks & Hacking – Criminals gaining unauthorised access to personal data.

  • Email Errors – Sending sensitive information to the wrong recipient.

  • Lost or Stolen Devices – Laptops, USB drives, or phones containing personal details.

  • Unsecure Systems – Weak IT security leading to leaked information.

  • Unauthorised Sharing – Data disclosed without your consent.

  • Employee Misconduct – Staff abusing access to customer or client records.

Impact of a Data Breach

  • Identity theft and fraud
