How Much Could My Lung Disease Claim Be Worth?

What Would My Lung Disease Claim Be Worth?

It is impossible to say how much compensation you might receive without knowing the details of your case. If you have been employed within an occupation where hazardous materials such as dust, fumes or chemicals were present, there should have been procedures and methods in place to minimise the risk of you inhaling or being exposed to any of them. If your employer failed to protect you properly from those dangers then they are likely to be liable for prosecution and you could be entitled to compensation. Depending on the amount of pain and suffering you have endured, and the likely outcome of your situation, the pay-out might be relatively small, or in some cases could be a huge amount of money.

It all depends on your age, the nature and extent to the damage of your lungs, and the impact this damage has caused on your quality of life.

If your lung condition is not too serious, and perhaps aggravated by smoking or other lifestyle factors, but you make a full recovery, you might expect to receive between £1,000 – £5,000 in compensation.

If your condition has reached a stage that the quality of your life is reduced, you could expect to receive between £10,000 and £30,000.

If frequent shortness of breath is affecting your work and social life but is still treatable then you could expect to receive between £30,000 and £50,000.

If your life is likely to be cut short as a result of the effects of lung disease caused by workplace factors, then the pay-out amount could be quite considerable; depending on the circumstances your compensation could be upwards of £100,000.
