Imperium Law
believes former workers from five well-known firms
could be entitled to thousands of pounds in
compensation because employers did not provide them
with any ear protection.
The scheme sets out
how liability is established and compensation paid for health
problems caused by working underground in British Coal mines. It was
originally brought in as an alternative to taking a claim through
the courts, mainly because of the volume of claims that the
government expected to be lodged by both miners and their widows,
speeding up the process for claimants. Before its closure in 2004,
nearly 600,000 claims had been registered.
