Industrial Deafness Compensation Claims

Quantum Claims can help pursue claims against an employer for compensation due to industial deafness.

To help people considering claiming for industrial deafness compensation, Quantum Claims have compiled typical aspects/questions we would discuss with you when assessing any claim.

These include:

1. The nature of the work involved.

2. The various work areas where you were exposed to noise.

3. Any noisy processes, machinery, tools or equipment which you have used or which you have been exposed to. Also, the types and locations of machinery which have potentially changed over the years.

4. What ear protection/protectors, if any, were supplied by an employer, and when the protection was supplied.

5. What complaints, if any, were made by you or others concerning noise or lack of ear protection.

6. When and in what circumstances were you first aware that you were suffering from noise induced deafness.

7. To what extent do you find your loss of hearing a disabling factor in social, working or family life.

8. What medical advice or treatment have you received about the loss of hearing, or indeed tinnitus.

Obviously points 6 and 8 are important from the point of view of identifying the date of knowledge, on which you became, aware of the fact that you had industrial deafness attributable in whole or in part to an employer or employers.
