How Much Could My Asbestosis Claim Be Worth?

What Is My Claim For Asbestosis Worth?

There is no hard and fast rule as to how much compensation you could be entitled to following a successful claim for asbestosis, as it depends on a range of factors.

The most important factor is the affect that the illness has on your life – i.e. how severely it impairs your quality of life. In addition to this we would look into the costs of any changes you have to make to your life; whether you have had to give up work prematurely, or if you have had to make expensive changes to your home.

Cases are usually broken down into three main categories:

Minor – if you suffer from slight chest problems such as breathlessness, or aggravation of conditions such as bronchitis, you could be entitled to between £1,000 and £10,000.

Moderate – if the disease has a real impact on lung function resulting in breathing difficulties it can have a serious affect on your working and social life. In cases like this you could expect to get between £10,000 and £50,000.

Severe – when looking at severe cases the level of damages will be affected by your age, the scarring within your lungs, your ability to work and the effect the illness will ultimately have in your life expectancy. If your asbestosis causes serious disability or even a premature death, the pay out could be anywhere between £50,000 and £1,000,000 or even more.
