GDPR compensation amounts in the Virgin Media case

We were previously asked by the media about what kind of GDPR compensation amounts victims of the Virgin media data breach could expect to receive.

We know that this is an important question, as people want to know what they could potentially expect to receive. Although it is very early days, we have provided the media with some information as to what victims could be entitled to claim for. This is based on our initial assessment of the action and our wealth of experience in representing thousands of people for these types of cases.

Read on for an insight into our early estimations.

Potential GDPR compensation amounts for Virgin Media victims

It is early days, but we have looked at provisional amounts and estimations for possible GDPR compensation amounts for those who claim as victims of the Virgin Media Group Action with us.

We spoke to the media and confirmed that our very early estimates suggest that victims could be claiming up to £5,000.00 in damages. This can cover the distress caused by the loss of control of a victim’s personal information, which the GDPR can allow you to claim for.

Ultimately, we are entitled – by law – to control who knows what about us when it comes to personal information. If this is lost, it can be incredibly distressing for people, which is what you could claim for. Our rights for claiming for such distress are enshrined in law.

Victims could also be eligible to receive compensation for losses and expenses. If anyone has lost money from fraud or theft that is caused by the Virgin Media data breach, this could be included in any final GDPR compensation amounts. Importantly, you can claim for just the distress alone, so you do not have to have suffered any financial losses or expenses to claim.

What could the final amounts be?

The above is, so far, early estimations as to the potential GDPR compensation amounts that victims could receive for the Virgin Media breach. What the final amounts may be can depend on a number of things, and we may not know for some time what they could be.

Cases can be assessed based on individual merits, and different people will be affected in different ways. This is something that we can take into account, and some people could receive more or less than the above. It may also be decided by a court as well.

As a leading firm of consumer action and data breach lawyers, we are confident that victims could claim thousands of pounds in damages for a successful case.
