As far as I'm aware, you cannot be privately sued for breach of GDPR. You can only send complaints to the regulatory agency, who then take action. The fines levied then go to the government.
There is no incentive for lawyers to troll around trying to sue for breach of GDPR, because there's no money to be made by them.

This may be limited to cases where the regulatory agency does not find in the data subject's favor? https://gdpr-info.eu/art-79-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-79-gdpr/ Article 82, "Right to compensation and liability," begins with the text "Any person who has suffered material or non-material damage as a result of an infringement of this Regulation shall have the right to receive compensation from the controller or processor for the damage suffered." https://gdpr-info.eu/art-82-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-82-gdpr/
