Will there be a formal Virgin Media data breach class action and, if so, how will it work for victims claiming compensation here in the UK?
In the UK, a class action (also known as a Group or Multi-Party action) is where thousands of people can claim together. We’ve been involved in many, with some for just a few hundred people and others involving tens of thousands of Claimants. As specialists in this area of law, we make the process comfortable and straightforward for our clients. We can offer some insight in this article to help you understand what this means.
When it comes to the final Virgin Media data breach compensation amounts that Claimants in the group action could be entitled to receive, how does it work?
It’s important that we address this as some people can be worried that they’re “just a number” when it comes to joining a large group action. With the action potentially reaching as high as 900,000 people, you may want to make sure that you personally receive the proper justice that you’re entitled to.
Here’s an insight into how it works when it comes to settling a large action so you can be in the know right from the start.
