How Much Could My Silica Dust Exposure Claim Be Worth?

What Would My Silica Dust Exposure Claim Be Worth?

It is impossible to say how much compensation you might be entitled to without knowing the precise details of case. The most important factor when deciding on a compensation amount is how the illness has affected you.

Depending on the extent of the damage to your health and the impact the illness has had on your day to day life, the following amounts give an idea of how much you might expect to receive:

For mild cases of lung disease that is treatable but has occurred as a result of exposure to silica dust the compensation amount could be between £1,000 – £5,000.

If the illness has led to a deterioration of your quality of life you could expect to receive between £10,000 and £30,000.

Regular shortness of breath can have a huge effect on someone’s lifestyle and quality of life and could attract between £25,000 and £50,000.

Sadly in many cases the lung conditions brought on by exposure to silica dust can significantly reduce someone’s lifespan, and in some cases can lead to a very premature death. In such cases the compensation amount can be more than £50,000, depending on the nature of the claim.
