Case study - Factory worker
The man who contacted You Claim had been working at a car manufacturing plant on the South Coast for nearly ten years. He began his employment on the production line, spending long hours in a noisy environment.

The hearing protection he was provided with was wholly inadequate for the level of noise that existed but frequent requests for better ear defenders were unsuccessful. Unable to afford his own hearing protection, the gentleman decided to 'make do' and continued with his role, despite the fact that the noise levels were uncomfortable.

He was not aware of how badly his hearing had been affected by his job until a routine check-up at the doctors revealed that he was nearly 40% deaf in both ears, blaming his job as the likely source of the damage. For some time previous to this revelation his family had joked that he was getting old and hard of hearing, but he hadn't realised the extent of the problem.

Angry at the harm his job had caused him, the man resigned from his position and was forced to find alternative employment. He also decided to enquire about making an industrial deafness compensation claim and chose YouClaim after extensive research on the Internet.

We agreed to help him in his pursuit of damages on a no win, no fee basis and one of our top personal injury solicitors took on the case. The evidence in favour of his compensation claim was overwhelming and his former employer quickly decided to settle without going to court.

He received a sum in the region of £22,000 and was entitled to keep every single penny. His personal injury solicitor didn't ask him for any of the money in order to pay legal fees or costs, but instead claimed their expenses back from the losing party - the car manufacturing company. As a result, the man kept the entire £22,000.
