Eye Injury Compensation Claims

Eye injuries can be caused by accidents due to negligence in a range of contexts including (but not limited to):

• Workplaces
• Educational establishments
• Public facilities
• Road traffic accidents
• Healthcare settings
• Military facilities
• Supermarkets or other retail establishments
• Construction sites

Regardless of where the injury occurred, it will be necessary to establish who is at fault for the accident which led to the eye injury.  Depending on the situation, this may be a local authority, public entity, building contractor, employer, a private company, or an individual.

To bring a claim against a negligent party for your injuries, it will be necessary to prove:

1. The party owed you a duty of care – if you were not owed a duty of care, no claim can be brought, and;
2. The duty of care was breached, and;
3. The breach of care led to an eye injury.

This means that in some contexts, it may not be possible to make a claim because there is a lack of proof that negligence occurred.  One of our primary roles will be to establish if there are grounds for a claim and if so, to create a compelling case that proves the other party held legal culpability which they breached, leading to your injury.

If you are unsure if the circumstances of your eye injury are grounds for a claim, please contact one of our eye injury solicitors today who will take the time to listen to the details of your case and advise you of your legal options.

Claims following eye injuries due to negligence may cover two areas of loss:

• Pain and suffering due to the injury;
• Specific costs resulting from the injury caused.  This may cover costs already incurred, such as transport, accommodation, and medical treatment, and expected future expenses, such as physical therapy and care costs.  You may also be able to claim for medically required eyewear.

The costs you receive will be based on the precise injuries suffered and the circumstances of the case.
