Loss of Sight & Senses
Contact Our Team
An injury that affects your sight, or any other sense, can be very disorienting. In the worst cases, it can be life-changing.
If it’s an injury that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you could make a claim for eye injury compensation. Speak to one of our eye injury claims team today to find out more.
WE ACTED FOR HENRY, WHO HAD SUFFERED DAMAGE TO HIS RIGHT EYE AT BIRTH BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENT MANAGEMENT.
Henry was an eight-year-old boy. He had suffered damage to his right eye at birth because of negligent management. His vision was reduced as a result and he had difficulties at school. He will need surgery in the future. We achieved damages for him of £60,300, which enabled his parents to pay for one-to-one specialist support at school for two years. This should enable him to overcome his difficulties at school.
