What Would My Exposure To Chemical Fumes In The Workplace Claim Be Worth?

What Would My Claim For Exposure to Chemical Fumes in The Workplace 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 there is potential for you to have been exposed to chemical fumes, there will have been safety protocols that should have been followed by the employer. If the 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 and the changes to your ongoing life that could be necessary.

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

If you have been exposed to chemical fumes at work and it causes on-going minor damage to your lungs without any long-term effect on your ability to breathe, you could expect to receive between £5,000 – £10,000 in compensation.

If the exposure to chemical fumes led to lung-damage that impacts on your quality of life, you could expect to receive between £10,000 and £30,000.

If the result of the exposure leads to regular shortness of breath and is affecting your work and social life but is still treatable then you could expect to receive between £25,000 and £50,000.

If your life is likely to be cut short as a result of the effects of exposure to chemical fumes in your workplace then the pay-out amount could be quite considerable, depending on the circumstances your compensation could be upwards of £100,000.
