How much is my claim worth?
This is a question that we are often asked. In order to value your claim, we will need to establish that your employer was either negligent or in breach of their legal duty at the time the exposure occurred. If successful, you will be entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation you will receive depends upon the severity of your problems.
We will value your case based upon the following criteria:
- The level of your hearing loss
- Your age associated loss
- Whether or not you have tinnitus
- Whether you need hearing aids, treatment or other equipment
- Whether or not you have a disability on the open labour market
Guideline valuations are:
- Total deafness £119,890 to £144,860
- Total hearing loss in one ear £41,370 to £60,160
- Severe tinnitus with hearing loss £39,250 to £60,160
- Moderate tinnitus with hearing loss £19,680 to £39,250
- Mild tinnitus with some hearing loss £16,640 to £19,680
- Mild tinnitus alone or mild hearing loss alone around £15,480
- Slight or occasional tinnitus with slight hearing loss £9,720 to £16,640
- Slight hearing loss up to £9,260
WE have years of experience dealing with these types of claims and will help you to recover the compensation you are entitled to.
