The eye injury compensation settlement awarded following a successful claim can include up to two heads of loss. General damages are designed to provide compensation for the pain and suffering of any physical or psychological injuries, or both.  Special damages may also be paid if you’ve incurred financial losses because of an eye injury at work.

Workplace Eye Injury Compensation Amounts

You can use our compensation calculator or refer to the table below which lists amounts from the guidelines provided by the Judicial College.

Solicitors can use these guidelines to help determine settlement amounts in personal injury claims. However, the amounts are not set out in stone as each claim is unique.

To get a better understanding of how your eye injury has affected you, your solicitor will arrange an independent medical review. During your appointment, an eye specialist will examine your injuries and consider how they have affected you. The report that comes from the meeting can also be used to value your injuries.

You could also receive compensation for any financial expenses connected with your eye injury under special damages including:

• Lost earnings.
• Travel expenses.
• Medical expenses (including private ophthalmology work).
• Care costs.

If you decide to work with one of our solicitors, they’ll review what expenses you might be able to claim back to try and ensure you are compensated fairly. However, you should ensure you provide evidence to prove these losses.

Claiming Compensation For An Eye Injury In The Workplace

It is vital to build a strong case that is backed by as much evidence as possible as insurance companies could be likely to deny liability if there isn’t enough proof.

Therefore, if your claim goes ahead, you should try to provide as much of the following as possible:

• Photographs that show the accident scene and any visible eye injuries.
• Details of any witnesses who were present when you were injured.
• Accident report forms or emails sent to your employer about the accident.
• Discharge letters or other information from the hospital about your eye injury.
• CCTV footage (or other forms of video evidence) to help prove that the accident occurred.

Additionally, to help recover any costs associated with your eye injury, you should provide financial evidence to your solicitor. This could be in the form of bank statements, receipts or wage slips.

As part of our free initial consultation, we are happy to review any evidence you’ve already obtained. Therefore, why not call our advice line and let us consider your case today?

Claim Eye Injury At Work Compensation On A No Win No Fee Basis

Should your claim proceed, your solicitor will provide a No Win No Fee contract called a Conditional Fee Agreement. This means you won’t pay any fees for the solicitor to start work on your case, as the claim continues, or if the case fails. If the case succeeds, the solicitor will take a success fee from your compensation. This is taken as a percentage which has a legal cap.

If you have evidence that you’re eligible to be compensated for an eye injury at work, why not reach out to us to discuss your case? We offer free initial legal advice as part of a no-obligation discussion about your claim.
