Can you claim loss of eyesight compensation?
You may be eligible to make a claim for loss of eyesight compensation if your vision has been adversely affected through no fault of your own and where the blame is with someone else.
With how important your eyesight is, making a claim in these kinds of circumstances is incredibly important.
Scenarios where you could have a claim can include:
- Medical negligence: such as a surgical error, or a delayed / missed diagnosis that could have prevented damage;
- Work accidents: not being provided eye protection at work when it’s necessary, or where defective or dangerous machinery (such as unguarded machinery) causes an injury;
- Product claims: defective surgical lenses, or dangerous / defective products used in or around the eye area.
Of course, there could be other scenarios, which can include road accidents and slips, trips and falls. Ultimately, if your eyesight has been affected in an accident, you may be able to claim
