Virgin Media data breach claims: our work so far

We continue to take on new Virgin Media data breach claims all the time. If you’ve yet to start your case and you want to know more about what we’re doing, here’s an update for you.

In brief, we’ll talk about the background of the action we’ve launched and what steps we have taken for our clients so far. Although it’s early days, there’s plenty that we can do, and are doing, to move matters forward for those who we are representing.

We’re confident that we can succeed with the action which is why we’re offering No Win, No Fee representation for our clients.

Virgin Media data breach claims action launched

When news broke of this incident, we were quickly contacted by concerned victims as a leading firm of lawyers in this complex and niche area of law. Having risk assessed the possibility of an action, we decided to take Virgin Media data breach claims forward on a No Win, No Fee basis right away.

We contacted Virgin Media quickly and we’re now acting for a large group of claimants. Our action and our mission for justice has been in the mainstream media, and we’re keen to make sure that anyone affected by this incident knows that they have the right to make a claim.

It’s early days, and we will need to assess individual factors for cases. But, generally speaking, we intend to pursue compensation for our clients for the distress caused by the loss of control of their personal information. If anyone has also incurred losses or expenses, we intend to make sure that those are recovered as well.

When we were asked by the media recently about potential valuations, we have provisionally estimated that amounts could reach up to £5,000.00 per victim. This could see the overall compensation pot for the 900,000 victims affected total around £4.5bn, making this one of the biggest legal actions that the UK may ever see.

How we’re helping our clients now

As news of the incident only broke recently, all Virgin Media data breach claims are in their early stages. We continue to receive new enquiries daily, and we continue to take new No Win, No Fee cases forward. For the many that have instructed us, here’s what we have been doing so far.

We’ve started in the same way we have for the dozens of other actions that we have. We believe in front-loading cases, which means that we build cases early on to make sure that future deadlines are easily met. This can also speed up the process which we’re always keen to do for our clients. This starts with gathering the information that will be required for a Schedule of Information that’s unique to each client. This will usually contain the key data for each client, and this can be used as part of liability and settlement negotiations in the future.

With over 50 different actions in our long history of fighting for the rights of people affected by large scandals and incidents, we know the best ways to progress cases for these types of actions. We rely on our tried and tested methods and infrastructure, as well as our extensive experience in this area of law. What this means for you as a client of ours is that you can be 100% assured that we will look after you properly.
