Industrial Deafness - Real Life Stories

When Mr. Cooper approached Applebys Solicitors about making a personal injury compensation claim for industrial deafness, they knew that they didn't have much time. Mr. Cooper's doctors had told him nearly 3 years earlier that he had noise-induced hearing damage and tinnitus as a result of working in noisy environments. Because of the time limitations imposed by law to file a claim, Applebys' expert personal injury solicitors had to act fast. They got Mr. Cooper an award in the amount of £7,125 for his industrial deafness claim. Mr. Cooper thanked the firm saying, "Thank you for all of your hard work that got me a settlement for my damaged hearing. I sincerely appreciate your efforts".

Mr. Wilkinson worked for Seddon Atkinson Vehicles Ltd from 1974 through 2002. He worked in areas with high noise levels from axles being assembled and the testing of engines. Later, he found out that he had developed noise-induced hearing loss, which doctors believed was due to working in loud environments. Applebys' professional personal injury lawyers negotiated a compensation award in the amount of £9,000. His thank you letter read, "I appreciate your openness and am enormously grateful for all of your hard work on my behalf. While I will always have hearing problems, at least now I can feel comfortable that I will have the money needed to purchase the equipment which will lessen my hearing difficulties in the future".

Mr. Griffiths was exposed to dangerous noise levels while employed with Ford Motor Company. As a result, he incurred noise-induced deafness and decided to initiate a claim against the company. Applebys Solicitors worked on his behalf and gained £4,700 in a compensation award. Mr. Griffiths was extremely happy with the service from his lawyers, and in his thank you letter he wrote, "I am very satisfied with the results of my claim, and I want to thank you and your firm for the superior service that I received in your handling of my case"

Mr. Parker had industrial deafness, but he wasn't sure if he could file a claim. He contacted Applebys Solicitors and they agreed to handle his case. In his thank you letter, Mr. Parker said, "I have received the cheque as final settlement of my claim, and I want to thank you. I appreciate the time and effort from you and your staff for the complex and difficult work that was needed to achieve such a substantial settlement of my claim. When I first approached you, I didn't know if it was worth trying to initiate a claim against my previous employers since they were no longer trading as the same companies. I realise that because of the professional manner of you and your staff and the support of my union, Amicus Union, I was able to receive a settlement amount far beyond my expectations". Mr. Parker received £10,700.
