Tinnitus is a physical condition (rather than a disease) and can also be caused by an overexposure to noise. The condition manifests itself by causing noises (most often described as ‘ringing’) in the ears when no such noise is actually present.
The length and intensity of exposure to loud noises both on a daily basis and over a period of time are contributing factors to industrial deafness and tinnitus.
Occupations which are most frequently affected by tinnitus are those who use heavy machinery and include the manufacturing, construction, agriculture and transport industries.
If you have been affected by noise levels in your workplace and have suffered tinnitus as a result, you could be entitled to make a tinnitus compensation claim.
Please note, the time limit for most personal injury claims is 3 years. However, tinnitus compensation claims are different because the tinnitus symptoms are visible several years after the exposure, therefore you have 3 years from the date you were diagnosed with tinnitus to make a claim.
The majority of tinnitus compensation claims we take on are on No Win No Fee agreement, meaning there is no financial risk to you, if your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be charged for your legal fees. However, if your claim is successful a small percentage will be deducted from the compensation awarded to cover the cost of your legal fees.
