Mr A was exposed to excessive levels of noise, whilst working for MDF Design industry for a period of over 6 years. He was employed as a Warehouse Operative and exposed to the noise of drilling machines and compressors, for the duration of his shifts.

During his employment, Mr A was never provided with hearing protection and nor was he ever made aware of the dangers that working in excessive noise gives rise to.  Our client now suffers from mild noise induced hearing loss, which was confirmed when WE Solicitors arranged a medical assessment of his hearing condition. This was presented to the defendants, as part of the evidence, to support Mr A’s claim.

WE Solicitors were able to negotiate an out of court settlement of just over £1,500 avoiding the need for court proceedings.  If you think you have hearing problems which may be due to noise exposure at work, do not hesitate to contact us on 0800 294 3065.
