Who are Data Breach Claims?
Data Breach Claims are dedicated to helping you get access to the compensation you deserve. When your data has been breached, you have the right to take action against those who were given the responsibility for storing your data and keeping it safe.
Our mission is to provide you with access to legal experts who have the experience of handling data breach claims and deal with the whole process for you. We will put you in touch with the UK’s top data breach solicitors to help you bring those responsible to account.
Everybody has a right to expect that the personal data that they have shared with a business or organisation is properly and securely stored and not shared without permission. When this has not been the case and your personal information has been shared, lost or stolen, you could make a claim for compensation.
We can put you in touch with expert data breach solicitors to help you pursue compensation. Data breaches can cause you financial loss as well as stress for which a data breach firm can act on your behalf.
We have a large network of data breach contacts, all of whom will offer you a top class service to provide you with a hassle-free claim experience. All the data breach claims experts we introduce you to have assisted numerous clients across a range of data breach claims cases, ranging from small to large complex claims and group actions.
All the claims experts who can introduce you to can assist you in receiving the maximum compensation for any data breach that you have been victim of, and the majority work on a No Win, No Fee basis, meaning there is no risk to you of making a claim. They will put you at ease and handle your case for you from start to finish so that you get the right result.

Commonly asked questions
An organisation is required under GDPR to inform you if they have breached your personal data in any way, and typically the first you might hear about it would be an email from the company concerned. Despite this, you may not know about a data breach by a particular company until you hear that they have been fined by the Information Commissioner’s Office ICO. When you contact us, we’ll get in touch with the company in question and use any information available from the ICO to establish whether your data has been breached.
If an organisation has failed to protect your data, you are entitled to claim compensation regardless of whether you have suffered any losses or not. We can make a claim on your behalf for anguish or anxiety caused by a data breach, but if you have suffered financial harm as a direct result of the breach, the amount of compensation you might be able to claim would likely be far greater..
Each data breach claim will be looked at on its own merits, but in most cases where a claim for distress has been made, the minimum level of damages would usually be in the region of a £1,000. Much depends on the circumstances of the breach and any impact. Where the data breach has caused significant financial loss or the leak of highly sensitive personal data, then the level of compensation could be significantly higher.
We work on a No Win, No Fee basis, so this means that if your claim is not successful, you will not owe us a thing. Only in the event of a successful compensation claim would you be required to pay us a percentage of your settlement, so there is absolutely no risk involved in making a data breach claim.
