The eye is an extremely delicate organ and needs special protection in dangerous workplaces. Eye injuries at work can have devastating consequences, so your employer has a duty to make sure that you’re safe in your working environment.
Our workplace accident solicitors could help you claim compensation if you’ve suffered an eye injury (ocular trauma), sight loss or eyesight deterioration because of your employer’s negligence. Common causes of eye injuries at work include:
- Goggles, safety glasses and face shields not being provided
- A lack of training
- Defective machinery
- Improper storage of dangerous chemicals
Effects of eye injuries can include:
- Blindness
- Corneal damage
- Eyesight deterioration
- Loss of an eye
- Retinal detachment
We understand how devastating an eye injury can be, having an impact on almost every aspect of your life. That’s why we’ll work closely with you to ensure that all of your needs are taken into account by the compensation.
This could mean helping you access private medical treatment for your eye, getting funds for a piece of specialist equipment or advising you on your benefits situation if you’re no longer able to work.
Most of our eye injury claims are funded on a No Win No Fee basis, which means you won’t have to worry about legal costs during your case*. As we have personal injury experts across the country, we can help you wherever you’re based.
