Claim with us – Your Lawyers

At Your Lawyers, we have long been advocates of consumer rights, striving to hold companies to account for breaching the law and letting people down. Now, since 2014, we have been representing victims for privacy matters, allowing the victims of data breaches to claim the compensation they deserve for the loss, exposure, or unlawful processing of their personal data. If you make a claim with us, we can fight to ensure you achieve the justice you deserve.

Unfortunately, despite extensive data protection laws, some data controllers continue to neglect the obligations they owe to their data subjects. Each and every third party in possession of personal information has a legal duty to protect it with appropriate organisational and technical measures, or they may be found to be in breach of the law.

Where this is the case, we help the victims of data breaches to stand up to those responsible by offering our expert advice and legal representation. We believe that Virgin Media is one such responsible party. In our view, they did not do enough to prevent the data breach that came to light in March 2020, affecting around 900,000 UK victims. Anyone affected could recover thousands of pounds in compensation if they join our Virgin Media group action.

Our data breach claims and group actions

At Your Lawyers, we have participated in a number of high-profile data group actions on behalf of our clients. For example, we represent victims of the 56 Dean Street Clinic breach, many of whom saw their confidential HIV positive statuses revealed due to a needless email error.

We are also playing an important role in the action against British Airways, which currently constitutes the first GDPR Group Litigation Order ever seen in England and Wales.

What we do for our clients

In data breach claims, we can make sure that our clients are compensated as fully as they possibly can be. Those who claim with us can rest assured that we will explore all the possible causes of action.

In the context of a data protection breach like the Virgin Media incident, claimants could recover compensation for their involvement in the breach, the distress they have suffered as a result, and the financial losses or expenses that they may have incurred. Damages claims could range in the region of £5,000.00.

Just as importantly, we can offer No Win, No Fee representation to eligible clients who claim with us. This commitment minimises the risk to you by ensuring that you do not have to pay our legal fees if your case is unsuccessful, subject to the terms and conditions in place. With this protection in place, we enable as many claimants as possible to access expert legal representation.

Make your Virgin Media claim with us

If you make your Virgin Media data breach claim with us, you can also access specialist representation on a No Win, No Fee basis. To start a legal case, you only need to confirm that you were notified of your involvement in the incident, then we can get your claim underway.
