Eye Loss Accident Lawyers

Any type of injury to the eye can be a traumatic experience. However, losing vision in the eye altogether can be life changing. When the loss of vision is caused by the willful misconduct or negligence of others, the victim has the legal right to seek financial compensation for their damages and losses.

There are various incidences and accidents where individuals can sustain severe eye injury that was not their fault. Common causes of injuries to the eye where there is a loss of vision can involve:

• LASIK surgery malpractice
• Defective airbag
• Vehicle accident
• Contact lens solution
• Over exposure to UV rays
• Serious eye infections
• Flying debris
• Severe blunt force trauma
• Workplace accident
• Construction injury
• Serious medical condition including cerebral palsy, meningitis or brain damage
• Chemical exposure, explosion or fire
• Welding accidents

Often, the loss of vision caused by an accident or incident cannot be reversed. In many incidences, the injured victim must adapt to alternative methods for performing basic skills. Sometimes, the victim is unable to return to their previous occupation, which can cause significant financial hardship on the entire family. In addition, they often deal with extensive emotional distress because of the financial burden placed on the victim and their family.

Workplace Accidents Responsible for Loss of Eye

There are specific workplace environments that continuously expose workers to hazardous conditions that can cause devastating results including the loss of vision in one or both eyes. Many construction accidents happen because the worker was wearing ineffective protective gear including headphones, earplugs and goggles.

In many cases, the injured worker can file a claim against their employer's workers' compensation policy to obtain benefits. However, the victim must fill out complicated documents correctly to ensure they receive all available aid. Hiring an attorney can help. This is because the lawyer may be able to determine parties other than the employer are also at fault for the injuries, allowing the victim to file a third party claim for additional compensation.

In addition, the lawyer might be able to prove that the employer's actions can be considered willful misconduct by creating an unsafe workplace environment for providing the worker with inadequate safety gear. If the claim can be proven, the victim might be able to obtain compensation far and above workers' compensation benefits that typically only cover medical expenses and lost wages.

A Right to Seek Compensation When an Accident Claims the Loss of Vision

Obtaining recompense is important because of the ongoing expenses of dealing with the loss of an eye. Common current and future expenses in dealing with the loss of vision often include:

• Past, current and future medical expenses
