Serious eye injuries range from temporary vision loss (often the result of a head injury) to full blindness caused by a serious accident.
Eye injuries are devastating and can have a detrimental effect not only on the injured person but their family and friends. Care will have to be provided, the family home will have to be adapted and employment issues may arise.
You may feel vulnerable and overwhelmed by what has happened to you, but you are certainly not alone. Our specially trained lawyers can help you to access the exact treatment and services you need and to secure the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to, to help you move on from the accident and to begin enjoying life again.
Any compensation awarded to you is designed to redress the balance and place you in the position you were in before you were injured. This means ensuring you have all the equipment and medical care necessary to get on with your life and to protect you against any financial loss both now and in the future.
No amount of money can help with the pain and suffering you have experienced but it can help with your recovery, your future and your financial security.
Your compensation award is designed to help with:
Unfortunately, eye injuries are extremely common, but the effects can be severe. We take our role in helping clients to access the correct treatment, support and compensation extremely seriously.
Injuries that we regularly help clients with include:
The cornea is the clear window at the front of the eye, which can be easily scratched or even cut. Abrasions or scratches are usually minor and tend to heal quickly although some can cause more long-term problems requiring steroid treatments to prevent inflammation and scarring and to ease any pain and sensitivity to light. Lacerations, which cut through the cornea, are more serious requiring immediate medical attention to avoid sight loss. These are commonly caused by accidents where glass or other projectiles have hit the front of the eye or because of physical assault.
These usually occur as the result of exposure to household cleaning products or industrial chemicals, in gas, liquid or powder form. Severe burns can result in damage to the cornea, ulcers on the eye, cataracts, which are an abnormal clouding of the eye’s lens, or glaucoma, which is high pressure in the eye causing damage to the optic nerve.
Blunt trauma to the eye simply means a blow or impact from a blunt object such as a ball or fist and can cause inflammation, damage to the optic nerve, retinal detachment or facial fractures affecting the eye socket and will require urgent medical attention.
Foreign bodies in the eye include items such as grit, wooden splinters or metal shavings, which can cause corneal damage including lacerations or cuts. They usually occur as the result of not having the correct protective eyewear whilst carrying out manual work.
Ultraviolet light is the most common cause of radiation damage to the eye. If the eye is exposed to ultraviolet light, as the result of using a sunbed or sunlamp without the correct eye protection for example, damage can occur to the cornea resulting in cuts and tears, a clouding of the eye’s lens, known as cataracts, or eye cancer.
If you have suffered from an eye injury that wasn’t your fault and it has affected any part of your eye including the lens, retina, cornea, pupil, eyelid or socket then you may be eligible to make an eye injury compensation claim.
Whether you have suffered a minor eye injury, where symptoms have lasted a few weeks, or whether your injury is severe and potentially life-changing, our expert team of lawyers will be able to help you.
If you wish to make a compensation claim for a serious eye injury, then contact us for an initial chat about what has happened and the circumstances in which your injury occurred.
