We will do our utmost to ensure you are able to secure the compensation you deserve. Operating under a no win, no fee arrangement, our solicitors will help to build a strong case that gives you the best possible chance of a successful claim.
Any compensation secured will help to cover earnings you have lost as a result of time required off work, as well as any medical treatment you have needed. Making a claim will also help to hold those responsible for your industrial hearing loss to account, meaning that safer working practices are rolled out to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Workers are protected under the Noise at Work Regulations 1989, which informs employers of the steps they must take to ensure their employees are protected from excessive noise in the workplace.
It is your employer’s responsibility to carry out a noise assessment in any scenario where the employee is likely to be exposed to high noise levels. They must ensure workers are not exposed to noise in excess of 80-85 decibels, and should provide protective equipment where possible.
If you believe you have suffered from hearing loss due to the negligence of your employer, you will be eligible to make a claim.
