Group actions after a data breach
We can pursue group actions and multi-party actions after a data breach has taken place, and we can represent thousands of people or even tens of thousands of people on a No Win, No Fee basis when they are eligible.
It can be quite common for privacy incidents to affect many individuals, which is why we launch such actions after a data breach has taken place. Some of our biggest actions include the British Airways data breach where we represent thousands of people, and the Virgin Media data leak identified in early 2020, which we also represent thousands of people for. In both these incidents, we consider that there has been a breach of the GDPR, and the thousands of people we represent for cases should be eligible to recover compensation for the distress that they have suffered from that has been caused by the loss of control of their personal information.
Even in what may be classed as a minor privacy incident, it is quite common for organisations to play down the potential impact after a data breach has taken place. As we often say, even a little information can go a long way, so it is vital that people know their rights to pursue damages in accordance with the GDPR.
Our fight for justice
As Group Action Lawyers, our role is to fight for justice for those who have been wronged in instances where a group or multi-party action can be pursued. We are here to be the voices of those who have been wronged, and we can take on the biggest companies in the world, and the biggest insurance companies and solicitors where we need to do so.
If the law has been broken, many people may have the right to pursue damages, and those people should have an avenue to be able to do so. In England and Wales, we typically have an “opt-in” system for legal proceedings. As such, a person will normally need to formally pursue a compensation case and instruct a solicitor and then join what may later become a Group Litigation Order (GLO). We have the expertise and resources to be able to represent people for such cases, and our commitment to access to justice means that we can offer No Win, No Fee legal representation when applicable.
