The size of the tumor, but one of the ears lost hearing.
Because of a physical defect, Whitfield lost his job as a salesperson and switched to a teacher, earning a full 20,000 pounds less than before.
It is understood that this is the first case in the United Kingdom to sue mobile phone manufacturers for medical reasons. If Whitfield wins, it will have the opportunity to become a case of similar cases, or it may trigger more similar lawsuits against mobile phone manufacturers.
Attorney Katrina Pope hopes that the court will make a ruling before the end of the year. Whitfield thinks the case may take a long time to resolve. However, he has been preparing for this lawsuit for 6 years and will not give up easily because of the next generation.
