If you or a loved one has suffered hearing or vision loss in the workplace, the attorneys and the legal team at Sawers & Sackel can help pursue workers’ compensation benefits. We will stand up for you if you are beginning the process or have already filed a claim and been denied benefits. We’ll focus on your claim so you can focus on healing.
Causes of Hearing and Vision Loss
Hearing loss in the workplace can happen in an instant as the result of an explosion or as a side effect of a head injury suffered in a work accident. Hearing damage or deafness can also develop over time, resulting from long-term exposure to the high-decibel sounds of jackhammers, heavy equipment, and even loud music. Victims may suffer total hearing loss or from hearing issues such as tinnitus.
Vision loss may result from an on-the-job accident, such as an explosion or ingesting chemicals or particles in the eye. Blindness could also be a symptom of a more extensive brain injury. Long-term exposure to welding equipment, smoke, or fumes may also cause vision loss to develop over time.
