Mr Carl Davies was exposed to excessive levels of noise, whilst working for steel industry for a period of over 5 years. Mr Carl Davies worked for British Steel Corporation, during his period of employment. He was employed as a Operative and exposed to the noise from the turbines, cooling towers, electrical pumps, bearings and compressors, for the duration of his shifts.

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

WE Solicitors were able to negotiate an out of court settlement of £3000.00 for Mr Carl Davies, avoiding the need for court proceedings. Both Mr Carl Davies and WE Solicitors are very pleased with the outcome.
