Civil rights laws protect people who have lost their ability to see or hear from discrimination in the workplace and elsewhere. Even with civil rights laws on their side, a person who becomes blind or deaf because of a workplace injury may have an uphill battle. Depending on the extent of vision or hearing loss, you may be unable to perform a job, run a business or care for children or other dependents at home.
If you or a loved one lost sight or hearing as a result of a work-related injury, don't hesitate to contact an experienced attorney who understands what you're going through. We can help you with your workers' compensation claim. A tough-minded lawyer at Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. can explore all of your options.
Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can be partial (you have lost some but not all of your hearing) or total (you cannot hearing anything). Some workers may be inflicted with a condition known as "tinnitus," (victims hear a steady ringing, buzzing or whooshing sound). A hearing loss injury may occur as a result of exposure to loud noise over time or exposure to an extremely loud sound, such as an explosion.
The following are some types of jobs that may result in hearing loss:
- Construction workers
- Farm workers
- Industrial arts teachers
- Cab or taxi drivers
- Truck and bus drivers
- Landscapers
- Musicians
- Factory workers
- Highway workers
Vision Loss
Like hearing loss, vision loss can be partial or total. Blindness can be acute (occurring suddenly), chronic (occurring over time) or congenital (occurring at birth). Vision loss can occur on the job as a result of exposure to chemicals, gases or other dangerous substances. In some cases, a worker may suffer blindness because of a foreign object striking the eye or through long-term exposure to bright light. The following are some types of jobs that may increase the risk of vision loss:
- Construction workers
- Food or restaurant workers
- Welders
- Farm workers
- Landscapers
