In recent months, we have seen an upward trend in claims being made by individuals alleging hearing loss as a result of firearm noise. Litigants have asserted such claims against firearms manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, as well as shooting ranges and the manufacturers of ammunition, suppressors, hearing protection, and other firearms accessories. Our Firm has extensive experience in litigating these matters and has researched, analyzed and understands the unique relationship between hearing loss and firearms use. We have expertise in the operating systems of the firearms involved and the interplay of the ammunition and firearms handling – as well as the medicine involved in forming defenses to claimed hearing loss (conductive vs. sensorineural claims; detecting malingerers through appropriate objective testing; defenses to claims of tinnitus; causation defenses, etc.) To request more information concerning this growing trend in firearms litigation, or for assistance with your hearing loss litigation, contact Renzulli Law Firm, LLP here.
