Customers of AX, which provides temporary hire vehicles to those affected by road accidents, have recently been contacted in respect of a data breach. It is understood that the company\u2019s files were accessed by an unauthorised party as early as January, meaning that some of their customers\u2019 records may have been compromised. We have already begun taking on claims for those affected by the AX data breach, and anyone who has been impacted can reach out to us for advice.<\/p>\n

Many of AX\u2019s customers may have been involved in distressing road traffic accidents, so it could be highly stressful for them to now receive the news that the information relating to this difficult event has been exposed. This is where we can try to help.<\/p>\n

If you have suffered in the wake of the AX data breach, we can support you through this difficult time by enabling you to make a compensation claim on a No Win, No Fee basis<\/strong><\/a>, where eligible.
