Our September claims club concentrates on industrial deafness claims and puts the new Highways Code of Practice under the spotlight. In June 2015 the ABI reported a flood of industrial deafness claims and concerns over the level of claimant costs. Where are we now a year on? Mark Hart, Senior Actuary at Zurich, discusses the prevalence and severity of noise induced hearing loss claims. In addition our own Nick Parsons, the Forum of Insurance Lawyers representative on the NIHL working party, gives his insight.

We also look at how authorities have been preparing for the new Highways Code of Practice. https://www.brownejacobson.com/insurance
