Lawyers Represent People Harmed by Faulty Military-issued Earplugs

Aggressive attorneys pursue relief for service members and veterans

After facing so many deadly threats, the men and women of our military should not have to worry about suffering hearing problems because a simple product failed to work as promised. Sadly, many active service members and veterans have reported auditory and balance difficulties because Combat Arms Earplugs, Version 2, made by 3M, did not provide suitable protection. Even an isolated incident of weapon noise during training might have triggered long-term harm. Because these earplugs were used for more than a decade in Iraq, Afghanistan and other combat zones, the potential for widespread, permanent damage is significant.

With offices in the Carolinas and the Virginias, Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban combines an outstanding history of achievement in defective product cases with a demonstrated commitment to securing justice for armed service members and veterans. If you’ve experienced pain, ringing in the ears, loss of balance or other hearing difficulty after using earplugs to guard against military weapon noise, we’ll advise you if legal relief is available.

Firm assists clients suffering hearing problems due to combat or training

After a whistleblower reported the Combat Arms Earplugs defective, 3M  paid more than $9 million to the Department of Defense but did not offer compensation to the service members suffering harm.  Victims are still pursuing reimbursement for medical costs, lost wages, pain and permanent harm they’ve endured. Our litigators fight for full damages on behalf of people who meet the following conditions:

• Use of Combat Arms Dual Sided Earplugs, Version 2, as part of military service during the period beginning in 2003 and ending in 2015
• Presence during a combat or training incident(s) where these earplugs were employed in an effort to protect against weapon noise
• Harm such as hearing loss, a ruptured ear drum or tinnitus (persistent ringing in the ears) resulting from the incident(s)

We realize that you might not recall the specific type of earplugs that you used while on active duty, but if the symptoms seem familiar, our lawyers offer a free initial consultation to get the investigation process started. Alternatively, if you suspect you might have hearing difficulties but haven’t yet identified a cause or received medical attention, we’ll outline the steps you can take to assert your rights. Our aggressive litigators have a long track record success taking on large manufacturers and winning millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for men and women who have served our country.
