Enquire About a Weil's Disease Compensation Claim

How Much Is My Claim Worth?

The value of your claim will be dependant not upon the fact that you have contracted Weil’s disease as such but on the severity of the symptoms you suffer as a result.

Provided that the Weil’s disease is diagnosed and treated quickly then the symptoms, although unpleasant at the time, should be relatively mild and a full recovery should follow in a matter of a few weeks.

Symptoms could be similar to those commonly associated with the flu and may include:-

A fever, chills, headaches, muscle pains, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pains. If the infection is more progressed then jaundice – a yellowing of the skin – may also occur.

In the event that a full recovery is made within a few weeks or months then general damages will be modest, typically ranging from £3000 to £9000 although additional compensation may be due if you have suffered any financial losses such as lost earnings.

Should the case progress it may affect internal organs including the brain, lungs, kidneys heart and/or liver in which case far more severe symptoms develop including:-

Shortness of breath, weight loss, confused mental state, coughing up blood, sensitivity to light, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, a high fever, swelling of the hands and/or feet and seizures.

How much your case may be worth if your symptoms progress to the above stage will be largely dependent upon your recovery and whether or not you are left will any long term disabilities as a result of the infection. In the most extreme cases general damages could be in excess of £150,000 plus additional payments for loss of earnings, loss of future earnings and/or pension and care costs to name a few examples.

Fatalities are rare in Weil’s disease cases but not unknown. The value of such cases will be very much dependent upon the sufferer’s personal circumstances and we would need to discuss this with you in order to evaluate a possible compensation award.
