Chest Injuries:
Cases in this area are fairly rare and wide ranging. The award level (up to £98,500) can be affected by not only the extent of the injury but also factors such as age and gender.
Lung Disease:
The award level, "often principally, reflects the prognosis" with the lower awards (£1,450 - £3,500) for temporary issues such as bronchitis and the highest awards (£66,000 - £89,000) for progressively worsening diseases in a young person with serious disability.
Asthma:
Award levels (up to £43,000) range depending on the severity and effect on "enjoyment of life" and employment prospects.
