Chicago Hearing Loss Injury Lawyers

Noise-induced hearing loss is a common disability for many people who work on construction sites, in manufacturing facilities, in factories, or in printing presses. Although OSHA has established allowable exposure levels, and safety equipment exists to protect workers, hearing loss continues to occur because of willful safety violations or catastrophic accidents on the job site.

Have you suffered hearing loss due to inadequate hearing protection being provided by your employer?

At the Illinois law offices of GWC Injury Lawyers, we are the chosen legal counsel of many union workers and tradesman and can bring the experience that we have gained from more than 40 years of fighting for the rights of the injured.

Construction workers can lose hearing in two ways: from long-term exposure to noise above 85 or 90 decibels or from sudden exposure to extremely loud noise (an explosion).

Some forms of hearing loss can be reversed; some lead to permanent tinnitus, hearing distortions, or outright deafness.

Workers at risk for hearing loss on the job site include:

• Ironworkers
• Carpenters
• Sheet metal workers
• Masonry workers
• Machine operators
• Operating engineers
• Road construction workers
