Industrial Disease Solicitors & Industrial Illness Claims

There are two ways that workers hearing can be affected by a noisy environment:

Exposure to loud sounds can cause the inner ear to become damaged. Sufferers will experience a deadening in one or both of their ears and may experience dizziness, pain, and ringing in their ears. Repeated exposure to a dangerous level of noise, which damages the nerves preventing normal signals being sent to the brain. Sufferers will have difficulty listening to a conversation where there is background noise, and they may find it difficult to use a phone.

Your Employer's Responsibilities

Your employer must take all reasonable steps to protect you from hazardous substances, and ensure you are properly trained to use potentially dangerous machinery. For example, if you regularly work with harmful chemicals, your employer must supply the proper safety equipment. Similarly, if you work in an extremely noisy environment, your employer must provide adequate hearing protection.

If you feel that your employer has not adhered to health and safety regulations, and you developed a condition as a result, contact our experts as soon as possible.

Employers have a duty to their staff to guarantee the safety of a working environment. If your current or former employer has failed in that duty and you have suffered hearing loss, you have a right to claim financial compensation.

Occupational deafness significantly affects the life of the sufferer; compensation can go a long way towards paying for medical bills, rehabilitation costs and fees incurred during a period spent out of work.

We understand that making a claim against an employer can be difficult, and always reassure our clients that any compensation cost will be covered by their insurers, not their business.
