£4,500 Won For Building Operative

Stanworth Law is dedicated to acquiring rightful compensation for those facing hearing loss due to noisy employments. This loss is accrued over a prolonged period of employment such as the client being mentioned. This client worked in a role from 1996-2002 and during his time, suffered from extensive exposure to noise which in turn causing his hearing loss. The client noticed a decline in his hearing, particularly in situations such as needing to increase the TV volume or during an outing with friends. The client approached our marketing company who in turn referred them to us, and after hearing of our success stories and reviewing our previous testimonials, he began his claim.

The client worked at a company that specialised in timber and building materials, there he worked as an operative and was exposed to a range of noisy equipment, such as circular and band saws, as well as metal on metal cutting. These equipment’s generated a lot of noise and overtime has had detrimental and lifelong effects on the client and their hearing.

From his first interaction with us, our knowledgeable and expert team reviewed his account of his noise exposure, his role at his employment and identified the lack of adequate hearing protection as well as the absence of encouraging hearing protection to employees by the company. Our dedicated team gathered his detail input alongside further evidence such as his GP records and Occupational records from his employer and commenced a claim on his behalf. This was followed by a private ENT consultation to assess the extent of his hearing loss. We also arranged for an evaluation by an NHS-registered audiologist, whose insights helped distinguish between age-related loss, noise-induced damage, and overall hearing decline.

Thanks to the comprehensive approach we took, our client was well-supported throughout the process and has received a fantastic settlement of £4,500.
