Overview: Charlie’s Data Breach Claim
Charlie, a resident of Magherafelt, instructed Lacey Solicitors after discovering that his General Practitioner notes and records had been subject to a data breach at his local General Pracitioner Surgery. Concerned about the unauthorised disclosure and the impact on his privacy, Charlie sought legal advice on his rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why Charlie Contacted Lacey Solicitors for his Data Breach Claim
Charlie was understandably distressed by the breach of his confidential medical information. He wanted a solicitor firm with that focused on client care with a proven track record of delivering for clients. He found Lacey Solicitors on google and saw that they regularly advised on Data Protection and Privacy matters. He contacted Lacey Solicitors to seek compensation and to ensure that his rights under data protection law were enforced. After an initial consultation, Lacey Solicitors agreed to act on his behalf and commenced a claim against his General Pracititoner Surgery for the breach.
The Legal Process and Negotiations
Lacey Solicitors, led by Ruaidhri Austin, submitted a formal claim to his General Practitioner Surgery, seeking compensation for the breach of GDPR. The claim was supported by evidence of the unauthorised disclosure of Charlie’s medical records. After negotiations with the Surgery’s legal representatives, a settlement was reached in the sum of £2,500.00, with the surgery also agreeing to pay Charlie’s legal costs.
Charlie’s case was settled within 2 months of contacting Lacey Solicitors.
Outcome
Charlie received a settlement of £2,500 in full and final settlement of his claim, together with payment of all of his legal costs.
