Make a compensation claim for a data breach

In the wake of a data breach, victims can undergo a great deal of stress and anxiety, worrying about whose hands their personal information may have fallen into, or feeling threatened by the possibilities of data misuse. Given the ever-evolving threat of data-related crime, the worries of data breach victims are entirely warranted. Unfortunately, some of these risks are inescapable once data exposure has occurred. Although it cannot remedy the damage caused by a data breach, victims can be eligible to make a compensation claim to seek the justice they deserve.

Those affected by the Virgin Media data breach are no different. If you were one of the 900,000 UK victims notified of their involvement in the data breach, you could be eligible to recover thousands of pounds in compensation. Your Lawyers is a law firm with years of experience in data breach claims and group actions, so we have the expertise needed to fight on your behalf.

Why should data breach victims make a compensation claim?

If they are not aware of their rights or of the potential benefits of legal action, many data breach victims may be uncertain about seeking to make a compensation claim. It may seem like there is little to be done, given that it can be impossible to reverse the effects of data exposure, but we can assure you that a data breach claim could be the right way to receive some form of justice.

We have represented victims who have obtained thousands of pounds and tens of thousands of pounds in damages by making a data breach claim. Moreover, a claim does not just have to be about obtaining damages, as you can also see it as a means of holding the data controller who compromised your information accountable. If a data controller is forced to pay millions of pounds in compensation pay-outs as a result of a data breach, they are more likely to feel the repercussions of their actions, and will probably be dissuaded from acting in the same way again.
