How Much Could My Nose Cancer Claim Be Worth?

What Would My Nose Cancer Claim Be Worth?

Trying to establish the amount of compensation that should be paid cannot be achieved without understanding a variety of factors about each particular case. If you work or worked in an industry where there was a risk of you being exposed to dangerous substances, there should have been a range of procedures and in some cases equipment in place to keep you and fellow employees safe. If your employer has failed in their duty to protect their workforce, then it is likely that they will be liable for prosecution and you should be entitled to compensation.

The amount that you receive will depend on the nature of the health and safety breaches you experienced, the extent of damage that the cancer has caused you, and what the prognosis for your future entails.

In cases where there was a breach of health and safety leading to you developing a small tumour that could be easily removed then the amount of compensation is likely to be relatively small – between £2,500 and £10,000.

If the disease was not easily treated and left you with permanent scarring or other disabilities then the pay out amount is likely to be higher – between £10,000 and £30,000.

If the cancer was not identified early enough to be treated in a simple way, there is a risk that it will mean a more difficult treatment process which may include more time off work, reduced income and a range of other issues –  in cases such as these you might expect between £30,000 and £50,000.

While death from nose cancer is rare, the risk of developing secondary cancer after an initial diagnosis of nose cancer is significantly increased, and in some cases this does lead to death. Depending on the nature of the exposure and the effect that it has on a patient, in serious cases such as these the compensation amount can be between £100,000 and £500,000 – and even more in some cases.

Compensation awards have to cover not only the illness or injury to the employee, they must also cover any additional expenses that the patient may incur, and in some cases the award might also have to cover costs related to ongoing treatment.
