Hearing Loss

Have You Suffered Hearing Loss?

Have you suffered hearing loss from working in a noisy environment, without  being given the right protection or guidance? Hearing loss normally has a number of long term effects.

You may have a claim if you have experienced hearing loss in your workplace or elsewhere.

If you have sustained hearing loss, and think you may have a potential claim, the first step is to tell us about it.  We can offer you an initial free consultation to inform you whether you have a case.

Where can hearing loss occur?

Hearing loss can happen in a wide range of environments, below are a few examples of some environments where you might have suffered from hearing loss. If you are unsure, one quick call to us and we will tell you if you have a potential claim.

• Construction
• Military
• Engineering
• Textiles

The process of your claim

Firstly, contact Gray Magee Solicitors,  we will take your full details of your case.  Secondly, we will send a claim letter to the person/organisation you are claiming against. We inform them about your hearing loss and why you hold them at fault.  Usually after that there is a process of negotiation to see if it is possible to agree to settle your case without Court proceedings.  However, if no agreement can be reached,  proceedings can be issued to take your case to Court.  If the matter is not settled then it will be taken in front of a judge. The judge will make a decision as to whether or not you are entitled to compensation for your slips, trips and falls claim. The judge will also decide how much that compensation is to be.  We always try to claim the maximum amount of compensation for you, that you can successfully recover in each case.
