Industrial Deafness - Can You Claim?

Employers have the obligation to provide a safe work environment for their employees. Unfortunately, the damaging effects of noisy work surroundings has been taken too lightly for many years, but it has now become clear that thousands of workers have sustained a loss of hearing because of their work.

Who can claim
If you have incurred some extent of industrial deafness, you may be entitled a compensation award. Employees who have worked in an industry that is notorious for noisy environments and industrial deafness have the right to these benefits. You also may be eligible for some type of award if you have worked close to someone whose work could lead to industrial deafness.

Contact Applebys
The first step is to get in touch with Applebys Solicitors. We have a deparatment dedicated to industrial deafness claims. We'll ask you a few quick questions and tell you whether you have a legitimate claim and how much compensation you could be entitled to.

Take a free examination
Applebys will then arrange a free examination by one of our specialists to determine the severity of your hearing damage. Hearing loss from inner ear damage must exceed 50 dB in both ears, and your work must have been the cause of the damage in at least one ear. While the law requires that employers provide hearing protection for dangerous environments, you still may be eligible for a claim award if the protection provided was inadequate. The amount of the award will vary depending on the percentage of hearing loss.
