Ear Injury Tinnitus

Ear injury tinnitus is usually caused by being exposed to loud noise and leads to a ringing in the ears from being exposed to this noise for long periods; such as in a noisy factory or concert. Millions of people in the UK have tinnitus and those that have sustained the ear injury from work and were not provided with ear protection could be eligible for compensation.

With regard to a noisy workplace, employers must provide their employees with adequate ear protection if the decibel levels exceed a certain limit. Ear injury tinnitus can be an ongoing condition where you will not be able to hear properly again and may even become distressed. Compensation for sufferers of tinnitus through negligence is generally substantial.

You should speak with a personal injury solicitor if you believe that your ear injury tinnitus was caused by the negligence of your employer for providing inadequate or no ear protection. In the case of ear injuries, claimants have three years to take the case to the courts from when the tinnitus was discovered.

Many law firms operate on a no win, no fee basis meaning you have nothing to lose should you not be successful in making a claim for compensation. Furthermore, even if you do win compensation for the tinnitus, your solicitor will claim their fee from the defence and not from the compensation you have been awarded for tinnitus.
