How Much Compensation For Chest Injuries
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.
However, the table below is a guide to the potential compensation settlement you might expect to receive:
Chest injury compensation amounts
Level of chest injury |

| Fractured ribs | Up to £2,800 |
| Collapsed lungs with a full recovery | £1,575 – £3,825 |
| Chest injury leading to residual lung damage caused by inhaling toxic fumes or smoke | £3,825 – £9,000 |
| Significant long-term damage following a single penetrating wound | £9,000 – £12,850 |
| Chest damage resulting in continuous disablement | £22,250 – £39,150 |
| Removal of lung | £71,850 – £107,250 |
| Traumatic injury causing lasting harm to the chest or heart and a reduced life-expectancy, a physical disability and reduced function | £46,900 – £131,000 |
