Bhopal Gas Tragedy (Union Carbide) (IN): Settlement Amounts
closedReported amounts & case results
1989 settlement: US$470 million paid to victims’ fund (per reporting). The Indian Supreme Court rejected an additional-compensation plea in 2023 (per Supreme Court Observer). The matter is closed; no amount can be promised.
Reported amounts are what sources say — not a promise. Individual results depend on injuries, jurisdiction, and the stage of the case. This is not legal advice.
What affects case value
- Injury severity — the single largest driver across mass torts.
- Jurisdiction — national/state/provincial law (e.g., discovery rules, statute of limitations) can change outcomes.
- Case stage — early filings and post-bellwether values differ.
- Documentation — medical records and the exposure timeline.
