Sight Injuries

Sight injuries can be very devastating as most people take there sight for granted.  People who ware glasses can probably understand the implications of impaired sight.   Injuries to the eyes and the site can be caused by many different variables.  It could be by an object being forced into your eye, or by chemicals that react badly to the eyes.  With minor eye irritations you can treat the eye by cleaning the eye with water but the more serious injuries may require medical attention.  Injuries to the eyes are one of the most common causes of blindness.

Claiming compensation for eye injuries is the same as claiming compensation for any other personal injury.  If the injury to your eye was not your fault and there is someone who is to blame then you could be entitled to claim damages for your injury.  These damages could be for your pain and suffering or for your loss of earnings due to visiting doctors and hospitals.  Damages are also recovered for emotional distress and mental distress if you can prove that the eye injury you incurred is responsible for your distress.

The most devastating injuries where an injured person has total loss of sight and hearing the amount they maybe entitled too could be in the region of £235,000.

Total blindness on its own the amount you maybe entitled too could be in the region of £155,250.  To see all the amounts of awards for sight injury damages look at our claim calculation page.
