The 36-year-old child murderer needed emergency hospital treatment after he was allegedly attacked by fellow inmate Damien Fowkes, 34.
The Prison Officers Association has warned that Huntley could try to sue for compensation by claiming the prison authorities failed in their duty to protect him.
Experts claim that he would receive at least £10,000 for the attack at HMP Frankland, in Co Durham, on Sunday, but could get double that figure.
The payout would be almost the same amount awarded to the parents of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman – the two 10-year-old girls Huntley murdered in 2002.
The two families received just £11,000 each following their daughters’ deaths in Soham, Cambridgeshire.
The attack on Huntley raises fresh questions over the security at Frankland jail, where three officers were stabbed last week.
