Lung damage

Lung injuries come in various forms, some of which can have very serious implications. The most serious injury of this type can lead to the total removal of a lung, which may also be associated with heart damage and is likely to result in significant scarring.

Other damage to the chest and lungs can lead to continuing disability, while a collapsed lung, which occurs when the space between the wall of the chest cavity and the lung itself fills with air, is a more common injury.

How much could you claim for damage sustained to the lungs?

If you suffer your injury as a consequence of negligence, you may be entitled to claim for compensation. The amount will be dependent on the severity of the injury. It is intended to not only help improve the victim’s quality of life, but to also cover medical costs and any rehabilitation that may be required.

Typical compensation amounts are:

Loss of one lung:

approximately £50,000 to £75,000
Lung cancer or other terminal disease such as asbestosis:

approximately £50,000 to £75,000
