Stanworth Law successfully secured £4,000.00 in compensation for a Machine Operator whose hearing had deteriorated over a 14-year period in the Foundry department of a factory.

Starting your industrial hearing loss claim

Our client’s claim commenced when he approached us after realising that his hearing acuity had declined, and that this could have been caused by his former workplace environment. In our client’s first consultation with Stanworth Law, our specialist solicitors documented his testimony, wherein he detailed his work history, and the extent of industrial noise he had been exposed to.

To prove that our client’s noise exposure at work has contributed to his hearing loss, Stanworth Law conducted our own investigation. After collating evidence in support of our client’s claim, we found that he had been exposed to vibrating equipment, compressed air and conveyor belts.

Stanworth Law complied a comprehensive and robust case, securely requesting and then storing relevant evidence from all sources. With care and attention to detail, our qualified team demonstrated that how prolonged exposure to noise at work had affected our client’s ability to hear, and resultantly, his professional and personal life.

A qualified NHS Audiologist was then instructed to create a medical report which evidenced the deterioration of our client’s hearing and linked this to the excessive noise at his workplace.
