A loss of eyesight compensation claim is often a high value case that’s dealt with by our specialist catastrophic injury team here at the Medical Negligence Lawyers.

Compensation pay-outs can be significant, and they will usually need to cover not only the suffering and inconvenience of losing your eyesight, but also for losses and expenses. If you can no longer work due to the loss of vision, the lost earnings claim can be substantial.

Here’s a little advice about when you may be eligible to make a claim for medical negligence compensation for losing your vision, and what to do.

Are you eligible for loss of eyesight compensation?

You may be eligible for loss of eyesight compensation if your vision has been reduced or completely lost due to a medical failure.

Some examples can include:

It could be that a haemorrhage is missed or is incorrectly diagnosed, and nothing can be done to rectify the loss of vision. It could be that a brain condition or a stroke isn’t diagnosed or treated quickly enough, and that’s caused the problem.

If you feel that it was a medical error that has caused your problems, we may be able to assist you.

How do you prove your case?

You can prove your case for loss of eyesight compensation with specialist medical evidence that we arrange as part of a legal case.

An independent expert can produce a report to determine if negligence has taken place. If the report is favourable, we can rely on it as evidence that you should be compensated.

At the start of the case, it’s hard to know for certain if there’s a case to answer for or not. If we consider there are prospects to pursue a claim for you, we can offer you No Win, No Fee representation.
