What is a medical data breach group action claim?
A medical data breach group action is a collective legal case that could involve many people where you are pursuing damages as a result of your healthcare information being misused or exposed.
Data breaches themselves can often form into group and multi-party actions when many people are affected, and these cases can often arise from cyberattacks. When it comes to healthcare information, this is particularly personal and sensitive so the impact can be severe, which can help to warrant the justification of pursuing a group action of this nature.
We have been involved in many medical data breach group actions and multi-party legal cases, from the 56 Dean Street Clinic Leak of 2015 to the Greater Manchester snooping event of 2020, and others. It is important to make sure that you instruct specialist lawyers with experience in the niche and complex area of law for both data breaches and group actions to make sure that justice is firmly achieved in incidents of this nature.

The seriousness of healthcare data breaches
The seriousness of medical data breaches cannot be understated. This type of information is precisely the kind that we want to maintain strict confidentiality over because it is particularly personal and sensitive. In fact, it is recognised in the GDPR that such information is so sensitive because it can be classed as “special category” information which can afford it additional protection.
As such, any medical data breach group action for compensation is an important one to pursue for the many victims who could be affected by a serious breach of their right to privacy. Whilst average settlements we have seen for our cases for data breaches can be just over the £6,000 mark, it is not uncommon for us to recover over £10,000 when it comes to healthcare information. This includes some of our group and multi-party legal cases.
