Are you suffering from hearing loss?
Permanent hearing damage can be caused by gradual exposure to noises or sudden exposure to an extremely loud noise. Many workplaces such as factory settings, and the transport, mining or construction industries, are environments prone to loud noises and loud machinery that can leave employees with hearing related disorders.
Industrial deafness or Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a relatively new concept and, in the past, workplaces never provided employees with, or enforced hearing protection. This has resulted in many industrial workers developing NIHL, many to the point of total deafness.
Hearing loss and other related hearing issues can have a real impact on your quality of life. If you think you are suffering from a work-related hearing issue you should seek legal advice as soon as possible. You may be able to claim compensation for your loss of hearing as well as future or ongoing medical expenses.
Why see a Personal Injury lawyer?
A lawyer can help complete your claim form, explain your rights, and make sure you don’t settle for less than you deserve. Don’t accept an insurer’s offer without speaking to us first – it could save you thousands.
We offer a free, no-obligation first interview (by phone or in person) to discuss your claim and the likelihood of compensation.
No Win, No Fee
If you’re worried about costs, we can help. For most claims we offer a no win, no fee arrangement – meaning you won’t pay us if your claim isn’t successful. In many cases, insurers also cover a significant part of your legal fees. We’ll explain everything up front, so there are no surprises.
What else might I have to pay?
Sometimes there are out-of-pocket costs, called disbursements – things like medical reports that support your claim.
Often, we can negotiate with the insurer to cover these expenses. Where that’s not possible, we’ll help you explore other funding options or set up instalment arrangements, so you’re not left out of pocket unnecessarily.
