Data breach violations are rarely out of the news. And should your personal information be compromised in a data protection failure, it is vital that you understand the options available to you.
We believe that in mass data privacy violations – where multiple people have been affected by the same data breach – a group action is the best way forward. This approach allows people with the same type of claim to bring it together on a collective basis. This strengthens their overall position and increases their chances of success.
At Keller Postman UK, our data breach team has supported thousands of multi-claimant and group-action data breach clients, and we can do the same for you.
Of course, you can make a data breach claim on your own. And, if you go ahead and no settlement is reached, you can even represent yourself in court. In fact, the number of people doing this has increased in the last few years. The legal term for representing yourself this way is called ‘litigating in person’ (LiP). However, while there has been a rise in the number of people taking this approach, this is often because they don’t think they have any choice due to a lack of alternative funding options.
A group action helps to even the score. And, at Keller Postman UK, we provide no-win, no-fee funding arrangements to ensure our group action clients have access to expert legal support without worrying about costs. There is strength in our numbers.
At Keller Postman UK, we believe that the best way to make big companies pay for their failures is to use a specialist lawyer. Of course, we would say that, but let us explain why.
When it comes to legal support, large organisations are smarter and better resourced than ever before. And it can be difficult for some law firms to stand up to such strength when representing clients after a data breach. What is more, data breach law is a relatively new field, so it can be tricky to find solicitors with experience in this area. However, if you appoint an expert data protection lawyer, you will stand the best chance of success.
At Keller Postman UK, we are true experts in data breach law. And we know what it talks to make a data protection claim. In fact, we have all the legal expertise and resources needed to take on big players such as BA, EasyJet, and Equifax.
We deal with all data breach group action claims on a no-win, no-fee basis. This means that, if your claim is not successful, you won’t have to pay a penny.
