How Much Could My COPD Claim Be Worth?

What Could My COPD Claim Be Worth?

It is impossible to say how much any individual case could receive in compensation without knowing the details of the case. If you have been employed in an industry where hazardous dust, fumes or particles have been present, there will have been safety protocols that should have been followed by your employer. If your employer failed to meet those criteria and as a result your health has been damaged, the amount of compensation you could be eligible for will depend on the severity of the suffering you have endured.

Depending on your age, the nature and extent of damage to your lungs, and the impact to your quality of life, the following amounts are a guideline as to how much you could expect to receive:

If your case of COPD is relatively mild, or perhaps aggravated by smoking you might expect to receive between £1,000 – £5,000 in compensation.

If it has reached a stage that your quality of life is impacted, you could expect to receive between £10,000 and £30,000.
If regular 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 COPD then the pay-out amount could be quite considerable, depending on the circumstances your compensation could be upwards of £100,000.
