Industrial Disease
Jack has dealt with most forms of occupational disease claim, at all stages of litigation, including early advice/drafting of pleadings, representation at CCMCs/interlocutory applications, through to final hearings. His experience includes claims in respect of:
- Mesothelioma and asbestosis
- NIHL
- HAVS
- Asthma and other respiratory diseases
Recent noteworthy cases include representing the fire service in a case where a firefighter alleged he had suffered acoustic trauma from exposure to the siren of a fire engine. The case was defended to trial at which the experts attended for cross examination on the complex issues of what noise levels are capable of causing tinnitus/acoustic trauma. HHJ Baucher accepted Jack’s submissions on both breach of duty and causation and dismissed the claim.
