    CHEST INJURY COMPENSATION CALCULATOR

    There are a number of reasons why someone may have suffered a chest injury. Traumatic chest injuries are usually caused by road traffic accidents when there has been a high impact collision. On the other hand, internal organ damage resulting in a chest injury can be caused by an industrial-related disease, the latter forming the majority of chest injury claims.

    When considering how much compensation might be awarded for a chest injury, there are a number of factors that will be taken into account. For example, your gender, age, the level of scarring involved and the extent to which your job and life expectancy have been affected by your injury

    Find out the amount of compensation you could receive for your chest injury with our chest injury compensation calculator.

    WHAT KIND OF CHEST INJURIES CAN I CLAIM FOR?

    If you have suffered a chest injury in a public place, at work, in a road traffic accident or on private property, you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.

    Types of chest injuries may include – but are not limited to – the following:

    • Lung damage due to toxic smoke inhalation
    • Cracked/broken ribs
    • Internal injury

    HOW MUCH COMPENSATION WILL I RECEIVE?

    The value of your claim will be based on the seriousness of your injury. This will be decided following an assessment by a medical expert.

    Our compensation calculator will give you an idea of the compensation amount you may receive for your injury only. You may also be able to claim for any expenses you have incurred following the incident.
