Hearing loss can happen in various settings and for different reasons. Knowing the type of claim you want to make is the first step in seeking compensation and will help to determine whether you are eligible. Here's a breakdown of the common types of hearing loss claims:
If you've experienced hearing loss due to exposure to loud noises in an industrial setting, such as a factory or construction site, you may be eligible for an industrial hearing loss claim. These claims often arise when employers fail to provide adequate hearing protection or control noise levels, and cause workers to be exposed to dangerous levels of noise.
Members of the armed forces are often exposed to loud noises, from firearms to explosions. This can also extend to training exercises, not just active combat situations. If you've suffered hearing loss during your military service, you may be entitled to armed forces hearing loss compensation.
Beyond industrial settings, other jobs like music, aviation and even teaching in noisy environments can lead to hearing loss. If your job has contributed to your hearing loss, you may have a valid claim.
Loud concerts, sporting events or even loud music through headphones can lead to hearing loss. While these claims are less common, you may still be eligible for compensation if the event organisers failed to provide adequate warnings or hearing protection.
Understanding the type of hearing loss claim you can make is vital for your compensation journey. At Switalskis, we can help you identify the right type of claim and guide you through the legal process to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
If you're considering making a hearing loss claim, you might be wondering where to start. The process can seem daunting, but don't worry, we're here to guide you through it. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
The first step is to get in touch with us for a no-obligation consultation. We'll discuss your situation, assess the viability of your claim, and outline the next steps.
The next step is collecting evidence. This could include medical records, expert opinions, and even statements from people who can comment on the impact the hearing loss has had on your life.
After gathering all the necessary evidence, we'll help you submit your claim. We'll make sure every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed so your claim can be processed and that all deadlines are met.
Once the claim is submitted, the other party will respond to confirm if they accept or dispute liability. This usually begins a process of negotiation. We'll handle all discussions on your behalf, and push to get you the compensation you deserve without the need for court proceedings.
If a settlement can't be reached, the next step is to take your claim to court. We'll prepare you for what to expect and represent you throughout the process.
Once the court has made a decision or a settlement is reached, you'll receive your compensation. We'll guide you through the payment process, making sure you understand how and when you'll receive your funds.
