I would not take the advice of anyone on here tbh. I would ask a lawyer who specializes in privacy cases. Most of the time if they deem it “winnable” the fees will be contingent on actually winning the case and they get 1/3 of the outcome

Yeah we are accountants not lawyers. I wouldn’t trust a bit of legal advice you get here.

I get the concern but it’s a risk of public things like social media. I am not a lawyer but there’s a lot of public information out there. I am not sure this is anything unique.

A purchased make-up from a company and they sent my package to the wrong address. I had a hard time finding a customer service number so I made a comment on one of their FaceBook posts. They replied to my post with my compete address they have on file for everyone and anyone to see. I am super mad. Can I sue them for the privacy breech?

I’m concerned with my safety (and that of my family) that somebody can associate my FB page (pics of me and kids) with an exact address.

You can find addresses online in almost all states and municipalities in a matter of minutes. Generally all you need is a name and county.

This is America (I assume). You can sue anyone for anything. If you or the Company in the EU, it’s possible that GDPR comes into play. But I’m not an attorney, so go seek legal advice from an attorney.

Hello,

I am a 3rd year insurance defense attorney with product and premise liability experience. Due to long-COVID, I am likely to lose my job.

The plan is to find a government position that would involve more substantive litigation and trial work, then leverage that into the private sector a few years down the line.

Any advice would be appreciated regarding networking, where to start, etc. Thank you.
