When you choose to work with the Dixon Injury Firm, your attorney will take care of the entire legal process on your behalf. This choice gives you the time and peace needed to focus on your recovery during this difficult time. While every case is different, the legal process typically follows this timeline: Determine Eligibility Before submitting a claim, lawyers must verify that you qualify to file. This verification occurs through the case review process, wherein your legal team will confirm that you did suffer hearing loss due to the defective earplugs. ​ Gathering Evidence You need evidence showing that you suffered hearing loss due to defective Combat Arms Earplugs to back your claim. The evidence required to present this includes medical records. You’ll also need to show that you were issued the defective earplugs and used them during active duty. ​ File the Lawsuit When we complete the preparation for your lawsuit, we can file your legal claim. This process must occur within the statutes of limitations. If you wait too before filing, you cannot seek compensation, so contact our lawyers immediately.
