How much compensation can I claim for facial burns at work?

[Carl]

I work on the gas and recently had a terrible accident that was not my fault.
I was working on a pipe and the gas should have been turned off.

As I cut through the pipe the gas ignited and exploded in my face and I had to go to hospital in an ambulance with sever burns and I will require plastic surgery, how much compensation am I entitled to?

Thank you for your enquiry.
I am sorry to read of you accident, this must have been incredibly painful.

I am pleased to advise that based on the accident circumstances, you would be entitled to make a claim for compensation against your employer.

In relation to your question regarding how much compensation you will receive, this is entirely dependent upon medical evidence. Medical evidence is obtained to both prove causation (the injuries where sustained as a direct result of the incident that has occurred) and provide a basis upon which we as your legal representative can accurately place a valuation upon your claim. However, as an estimate, based on the information you have provided, we believe that you could receive upwards of £26,000.00 depending on the severity of the burns, scarring and the psychological effects.
