How Much Could My Lyme Disease Claim Be Worth?

What Would My Lyme Disease Claim Be Worth?

It is impossible to say how much an individual compensation claim could be worth without understanding a variety of factors that will need to be taken into account.

Firstly we would need to establish if we were pursuing a claim for Clinical or Lyme Disease in cases where the disease was allowed to develop or was left untreated due to a failure on the part of a medical professional to adequately diagnose and treat the disease, or a Personal Injury claim against an employer who failed to take adequate precautions in reducing the risk of infection to employees.

In either situation the amount of compensation will reflect the suffering of the patient and the likely ongoing issues that they may have to deal with, such as medical issues including pain, fatigue and complications, but also the financial impact of the illness – perhaps you have to take time off work for which you were not paid, or perhaps as a result of the illness you may not be able to work again.

All of these factors will need to be taken into account before a figure can be agreed. In cases where minimal suffering has occurred, and a full recovery is made, the pay out is likely to be relatively small – between £1,000 – £5,000, depending on a variety of factors.

In situations where the suffering of the patient has been more serious, the amount could range between £5,000 and £50,000.

In cases where medical negligence has led to severe suffering, or if an employer has repeatedly failed to take action in reducing risk and the worker has gone on to suffer from serious illness as a result of the infection, the compensation amount could easily reach six figures or more, depending on a range of factors including the ongoing employment prospects of the sufferer, whether it has had serious and long-lasting health implications, or if it has been proved to have contributed to an early death.
