How Much Could My Silicosis Claim Be Worth?

What Would My Silicosis Claim Be Worth?

Without looking into details and hearing about your experiences, it is practically impossible to say how much compensation you could claim following exposure to asbestos and any subsequent illness you may have developed. The most important factor to take into account when working out how much compensation you could be entitled to is the effect that the illness has had on your life. This is why it is essential to speak to an expert regarding your silicosis compensation claim as soon as possible.

Compensation awards are normally broken down into two categories:

General Damages

This is the compensation award for the condition itself, and for Silicosis is typically up to £119,210*.

*Figures taken from Judicial College Guidelines, 2019 edition. These are indicative only and not a guarantee of any award you may receive.

Special Damages

The award of special damages will vary from case to case as they are very specific to the individuals circumstances. Special damages include but are not restricted to loss of earnings, loss of pension, care cost and needs, domestic assistance and perhaps even relocation costs if your accommodation is no longer appropriate for your needs. Special damages awards often dwarf the amount paid in general damages and commonly amount to over £100,000 and in some cases much more.
