Mr C was exposed to excessive levels of noise, whilst working in the tile making industry for a period of over 20 years. Mr C worked for H & R Johnson Tiles Limited, which was also known as Richards Tiles Limited during Mr C’s earlier employment.

He was employed as a Press Operator and exposed to excessive noise from tile presses and other machinery within the factory.

Mr C 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 C’s claim.

WE Solicitors were able to negotiate an out of court settlement of over £3,000 for Mr C, avoiding the need for court proceedings. Both Mr C and WE Solicitors are very pleased with the outcome.
