The APIL Guide to Noise Claims is an essential reference guide for claimant lawyers engaged in industrial deafness work. The guide follows a case study through the entire claim process starting with the initial '€˜triage'€™ risk assessment, through claim intimation and the pre-action protocol, the collection of lay witness evidence, expert medical and acoustic engineering evidence to completion. In addition to a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory framework, the guide explains how to analyse audiograms against the Coles, Lutman & Buffin '€˜Guidelines on the Diagnosis of Noise Induced Hearing Loss for Medico-Legal Purposes'€™, and how to work out noise immission levels saving substantial time and expense in utilising experts and improving risk management. There are several precedents including a Letter of Claim, Pre-Action Disclosure Applications and Pleadings.
