We Can Help With All Types Of Accidents
Whether you’ve suffered an eye injury in an accident at work, because of medical negligence or you’ve been involved in a car crash, we are here to help you seek compensation for your suffering.
What Is An Eye Injury Claim
An eye injury claim lets you seek financial compensation for harm caused by someone else’s negligence. This legal process involves proving that another party breached their duty of care, leading to your injury. Compensation can cover pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages. Eye injuries, whether at work, on the road, or in a public place, can significantly affect your vision, independence, and earning potential, and any compensation you receive should reflect this suffering.
Typical eye injuries claimed for include corneal abrasion, penetration by foreign objects, broken eye sockets, traumatic iritis, and partial or full blindness. If you’re certain someone else is responsible for your injury, you might qualify for compensation.
We simplify the process for you, and the solicitors from our panel provide a No Win No Fee claim service. This approach eliminates upfront costs, ensuring you won’t face upfront legal fees when seeking justice.
If you’re ready to start your claim, contact our team. Get tailored advice with a free consultation to assess your case. Whether it’s a workplace incident, road accident, or public space injury, why not let us help you try to secure the financial support needed for your recovery?
When Is It Possible To Claim Compensation For An Eye Injury?
Essentially, you might be eligible to start an eye injury claim if:
-
The other party involved owed you a duty of care;
-
They breached that duty; and
-
As a result, you have suffered an eye injury or condition that has affected your sight.
Importantly, you will need to prove that negligence (breach of duty) caused an accident, incident or set of circumstances that led to your eye injury (causation). This means, for example, you could claim for loss of vision caused by a surgeon who failed to use the correct procedures when performing laser eye surgery.
The No Win No Fee service offered by our panel of solicitors means that no upfront fees are required, and you’ll only pay legal costs if your claim is successful. This allows you to focus on your recovery while seeking justice.
If you believe you have a valid eye injury claim, why not contact us to discuss your case with one of our specialists today?
What Types Of Accidents and Incidents Can Lead To Eye Injury Claims?
Eye injury claims can be based on a variety of different accidents and incidents including:
-
Workplace accidents, e.g. where debris from a cutting machine hits you in the eye because a safety guard was removed.
-
Medical negligence, e.g. if a doctor fails to spot glaucoma because they didn’t conduct an eye examination correctly.
-
Criminal assaults, e.g. you suffered a broken eye socket after being punched in an unprovoked attack.
-
Accidents in public places, e.g, you were struck in the face by a falling sign in a shop and suffered temporary blurred vision.
-
Road traffic accidents (RTAs), e.g. where glass or other debris causes a corneal abbrasion following a head-on collision.
Whether you’re making a personal injury claim or a medical negligence case, we can help. Our team provides free legal advice to review your case and set out your options. What’s more, if your case is valid, a solicitor from our panel may offer to seek compensation for you on a No WIn No Fee basis. Please call today for more information.
Common Examples Of Eye Injuries
Eye injuries can vary in severity, ranging from minor irritations to significant damage with lasting effects. Common examples include:
-
Corneal abrasions: Scratches on the cornea caused by foreign objects like dust or splinters, often from rubbing the eye or lack of protective gear. Can lead to infections or vision problems if untreated.
-
Chemical burns: Eye injuries from hazardous substances like cleaning agents or chemicals due to poor safety measures. Can cause irritation, swelling, and burns.
-
Penetration injuries: Sharp objects like glass or metal can puncture the eye during accidents, risking infection or permanent damage.
-
Blunt trauma: Hits to the face or head from accidents or impacts can cause fractures, retinal issues, or vision loss.
-
Foreign object injuries: Grit, sand, or dust in the eye can cause irritation and complications if not removed promptly, often occurring in unprotected environments.
Severe eye injuries can alter your quality of life, but seeking a No Win No Fee eye injury claim could help you to deal with any long-term vision problems. If this is something you’re interested in, please contact our team today.
If I Claim Compensation For An Eye Injury, What Does It Cover?
Compensation for an eye injury addresses general and special damages. These cover the pain and suffering your eye injury causes and any associated financial challenges. It can include:
-
Medical Costs: Covers treatments, rehabilitation, therapy, or private specialist care not available through public healthcare.
-
Specialist Equipment: Includes visual aids and custom assistive tools.
-
Home Modifications: Funding for adjustments like handrails or improved lighting to maintain independence.
-
Loss of Earnings: Compensates for lost income and future earning potential.
-
Travel Costs: Covers transportation for medical appointments or therapy.
-
Pain and Suffering: Financial support for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
If your eye injury requires long-term care or causes permanent vision impairment, any associated costs are factored into the compensation. Claims may also consider improvements in accessibility, ensuring you’re equipped to handle daily life challenges.

Example Compensation Payouts For Eye Injuries

The Time Limits For Eye Injury Claims
Eye injury claims generally follow a strict time limit under the Limitation Act 1980. You have three years from the date of your injury or the date you became aware of it to start your claim. This applies to cases where the injury’s effects manifest later, such as complications from delayed treatment or missed diagnoses.
If a child sustains an eye injury, the three-year time frame begins on their 18th birthday, expiring when they turn 21. For individuals lacking the mental capacity to claim, no time limit applies unless they regain this capacity. If that happens, the usual three-year period begins from the date of recovery.
Starting early strengthens your case because it gives time to gather evidence like medical reports and witness statements. Missing the deadline risks your claim being invalid. Expert guidance ensures the time limits are adhered to and that your claim process runs smoothly.
If you or someone you know has suffered an eye injury due to another party’s negligence, contacting legal support as soon as possible is crucial. By starting a No Win No Fee eye injury claim with expert assistance, you eliminate financial risk while gaining a strong chance to secure fair compensation. Therefore, why not get in touch today to begin your journey towards justice and recovery?
Using Evidence To Strenghten Eye Injury Claims
Collecting strong evidence is vital for supporting an eye injury claim. Without sufficient proof, it becomes challenging to establish negligence or obtain fair compensation. Evidence not only demonstrates how the injury occurred but also highlights its impact on your life.
Types of Evidence to Collect
-
Photographs: Take clear images of your eye injury and the accident scene. For example, if faulty equipment caused the injury, photograph the defect to illustrate negligence.
-
Medical Records: Request copies of your medical records documenting the diagnosis and treatment of your eye injury. Hospitals, doctors, or opticians can provide these.
-
Witness Details: Gather contact details of anyone who witnessed the accident. These individuals can later provide statements supporting your account of events.
-
CCTV or Dashcam Footage: If available, use footage showing the accident happening, as it offers compelling visual evidence.
-
Accident Reports: Submit forms or emails detailing the incident, especially if the injury occurred at work.
-
Financial Evidence: Keep bank statements, wage slips, and medical expense receipts to demonstrate associated costs.
It’s important to note that if you work with a solicitor from our panel, they will usually offer to help secure evidence for your claim as part of their service. Therefore, you don’t need everything listed here to start the claims process and you’re free to contact our team for free advice right away.
