Stanworth Law successfully won £4,135.60 in compensation for a client’s industrial hearing loss claim. Our client, who had dedicated 13 years as a setter and machine operator in a golf shaft department, experienced significant hearing damage due to inadequate hearing protection provided by their employer. He approached Stanworth Law, and in our first consultation, laid out the issues he had faced since working in the noisy environment.
His role involved loading and unloading machines in the golf shaft department, where he faced continuous, high-level noise without hearing protection. This lack of protective earwear led to significant hearing loss through no fault of his own.
The client suffered from ringing and buzzing in his ears, needing to put the TV volume higher and having to shout to carry a conversation due to his hearing loss. It was clear he was suffering with tinnitus that only seemed to be getting worse.
The client’s wife noticed his hearing deteriorating and mentioned this to the client as an ongoing issue for over two years. The client found himself having to lip read and was constantly missing parts of conversations which also affected him mentally and socially as he struggled to interact with people in a loud environment.
During the meeting, our legal team carefully assessed his exposure to continuous, high-level noise without hearing protection while loading and unloading manufacturing machines. We were confident that he could make an industrial hearing loss claim.
We then proceeded with arranging convenient medical assessments near the client’s home. Stanworth Law cares about making the claims process as straightforward as possible and believes every worker deserves proper protection in their workplace.
One of our team, a dedicated hearing loss specialist solicitor with Stanworth Law, was then assigned to manage the case, maintaining regular communication and gathering detailed information about his workplace exposure so we could build our case.
Stanworth Law arranged comprehensive hearing tests and consulted an ENT surgeon. To strengthen the case, we obtained a detailed medical report documenting both noise-induced and age-related hearing loss, including specific decibel measurements and acceleration factors.
After building a solid case backed by legal guidelines, we presented it to the company responsible.
The opposing party agreed, for general damages, to compensate our client. Stanworth Law successfully helped the client win £4,135.60. Despite the complexity of proving workplace noise exposure, our team’s detailed evidence gathering helped achieve a satisfactory resolution.
The client was impressed with Stanworth Law’s services, saying “Throughout this challenging process, Stanworth Law provided consistent support and regular updates. Their responsiveness and commitment were truly reassuring, and they were always there to answer my questions and queries. The level of service and support I received was impressive from start to finish.”
