Loss of Hearing & Deafness

Serious Injury Attorney Serving Bakersfield, California

In some situations, a serious accident or injury may lead to a partial or complete loss of hearing. This is considered a catastrophic injury because of the dramatic consequences it may have on the victim's life. In addition to dealing with medical bills associated with the injury, a victim may need help with living expenses while unable to work or may require occupational therapy to return to work and a normal life.

Loss of hearing or deafness may be brought about in many different situations. Continual exposure to loud noises, such as at an industrial plant or manufacturing facility, may cause hearing loss, as may an explosion, head trauma, brain injury or even certain infections or certain medical conditions. Deafness or hearing loss may also be attributed to medical malpractice. At Pacific Attorney Group, we handle all types of ear injury claims and lawsuits in the Bakersfield area. We can file personal injury or workers' compensation claims on our clients' behalf, depending on whether their hearing injury is work-related or was related to another person's negligence or wrongdoing.
