Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a claims take?
As a general rule, the less complicated your injury and prognosis is, and the sooner you act, the faster your claim will be. Some unscrupulous insurance companies will try to drag proceedings out to put you under financial pressure with the hope you will, therefore, accept a lower offer. We are wise to their ways and can use the courts and law to help prevent this if it does occur.
How does a No Win No Fee* arrangement work?
No Win No Fee agreements work by minimising any financial risk associated with making an injury at work compensation claim for the client. If you do not receive any compensation, you do not have to pay your legal fees.
If you win compensation (and a lawyer will typically only take a case on a no win no fee basis if they believe there is a very strong likelihood that it will) you will pay your solicitor a fee that is an agreed percentage of your compensation.
Can active-duty military personnel still file a claim?
Both active and retired military personnel can file claims for noise-induced hearing loss sustained while serving. Do not wait to file because you are still serving, as this can result in your time limits expiring.
How should my employer have protected me against industrial deafness?
Industrial deafness is avoidable if employee in noisy environments adhere to industrial and safety regulations.
The MOD have a responsibility to provide their employees with protective equipment, training and advice to prevent hearing loss. Hearing loss is irreversible, so it’s incredibly important employers follow the correct procedures to prevent industrial deafness.
The MOD should:
- Make sure any risks from noise are controlled
- Provide information and guidance on the risk
- Monitor your health in relation to the risk
- Provide personal protective equipment such as earplugs or earmuffs
If you haven’t been provided with any information on the risk of noise-induced hearing loss, or haven’t been given adequate breaks or protective equipment, your employer’s negligence could have put you at risk and you could be entitled to compensation.
