Eye Injury & Vision Loss Compensation Solicitors

We all know how important our eyes are to the quality of our life. If you therefore suffer an injury to your eye (or eyes) as a result of a third party’s negligence, then you could be entitled to make a compensation claim with the assistance of our personal injury claims solicitors ** for Bolton.

The eyes can be injured in any number of ways from road traffic accidents to injuries at work and slips, trips and falls. Where a successful claim is made, the compensation will be paid out by the negligent party, or more usually, their insurance company.

Such compensation claims are permitted because English law places a duty of care on certain groups of people towards the health and safety of others, for example, employers to their employees or road users towards each other. As most eye injury claims will be a result of a breach of this duty of care. For example, failure of an employer to provide eye protection, or a speeding driver, then it is permissible to make a claim.

How Much Compensation for an Eye Injury Claim in Bolton?

Every case that our lawyers ** deal with will be very different, but there are some rough guidelines you should be aware of, taken from the average of claims successfully pursued in the UK over the last few years. You can see those below:

  • Minor eye injuries average claim payouts: £1,600 to £3,000
  • Minor injuries with painful symptoms: £3,000 to £6,500
  • Serious damage to the vision in one eye: £6,500 to £30,000
  • Blindness in one eye compensation: Up to £40,000
  • Blindness in both eyes: Up to £200,000

Your eyes are a very fragile, yet complex optical system, which means an eye injury can have devastating effects, and can result from even the most minor of accidents. Thankfully, most eye injuries will only result in scratches, cuts, and minor irritation. But in more serious cases, it can lead to total blindness in one or both pupils. Sensory damage is extremely serious, and the compensation awards do reflect that.

For some victims, the ramifications of an eye injury claim or loss of vision (blindness) can prove to be life-long. As such, it is necessary that you employ the services of a personal injury solicitor, who can get you the financial justice that you deserve.
