How Much Compensation For Bladder Injuries

As an essential organ within the body, an injury to the bladder can cause serious side effects. Just how much compensation for bladder damage depends on the extent to which your bladder has been injured, either as a result of medical or clinical negligence or some other form of injury, accident or illness.

Level of injury

Potential compensation

Cases involving double incontinence (total loss of natural bowel function and complete loss of urinary function and control) Up to £146,840
Complete loss of bladder function and control Up to £112,100
Serious impairment of control with some pain and incontinence £51,000 – £63,720
Cases where there has been almost a complete recovery but some fairly long-term interference with natural function £18,660 – £24,950

How much for cancer-related bladder injuries?

In some instances, there have been compensation figures which have been greater than those given to bowel compensation claimants. This is because a lot of bladder injuries arise from situations and circumstances where there has been carcinogenic exposure.

For cancer cases, there exists a separate category for which compensation amounts can be more accurately measured. Even if you have had a return of natural bladder function, often these cases are at the higher end of the compensation bracket.

Settlement figures are also calculated taking into consideration life expectancy, the level of pain and suffering and how long that pain is likely to continue. More poignantly, the figure will also reflect the difficulty the injured person will experience in knowing there will be detrimental consequences for their loved ones following their death.

If you are middle-aged and your life expectancy is reduced by 15 to 20 years then your settlement fee is likely to be £41,220 to £60,730.
