Workers and former employees who have suffered hearing damage from noise induced deafness are often awarded significant amounts of compensation, regularly running into thousands of pounds when Pinto Potts Solicitors handle their workplace deafness claim.

Many people who have worked in factories, plants, airports or other noisy environments, often for many years have been exposed to high levels of noise without adequate ear protection. Over a long period of time this level of noise exposure can cause hearing damage and deafness, for which personal injury compensation can normally be claimed.

Employers have a duty of care to their staff and must ensure that anyone exposed to high levels of noise has suitable protection, such as ear protectors.

Many people with hearing loss think they cannot make a claim as the firm they used to work for are no longer trading or not in business anymore, however, this isn’t the case.

Pinto Potts Solicitors have a huge database with details of  insurance companies who provided cover for many of the UK’s noisiest employers. Compensation claims can be made directly to the insurance company – even if the original business no longer exists.

Anyone suffering the symptons associated with working in a noisy environment (such as dizziness, ringing in the ears and tinnitis) should seriously consider speaking to a specialist Solicitor such as Pinto Potts about making a compensation claim.
