Loss of sight compensation claims
Loss of sight and blindness can be caused by direct trauma to the eyes, poisoning, or exposure to harmful chemicals.
Any serious injury that has been caused by another’s negligence can form the basis for a claim. We have helped many people seek compensation for a wide range of eye injuries, including:
- Full blindness.
- Partial loss of sight.
- Damage to cornea.
- Loss of an eyeball.
- Detached retinas.
Employers have a legal obligation to ensure your safety at work by providing the correct training and equipment to carry out tasks.
If something does go wrong we can support and guide you through the claim process and help get the compensation you need.

FAQs
If I’ve suffered an eye injury at work, is it my fault?
Under the law, your employer has a duty of care to keep you and your colleagues safe at work.
Ways to ensure safety include providing personal protective equipment, giving adequate training, and maintaining machinery or equipment to a high standard. If an employer fails to create a safe working environment that results in you being injured, then they may be classed as negligent.
Employees do, however, also have a duty to take reasonable care of their own health and safety whilst at work. If you acted inappropriately, such as by working under the influence of drugs and alcohol or by refusing to follow health and safety procedures, then you may find it harder to make a claim.
It is always best to get in touch with a specialist accident at work solicitor for advice. Here at Hudgells, our expert lawyers will help you determine if you have a case through a confidential, free, no-obligation chat.
Are there any time limits on making a loss of sight claim?
For most personal injury cases, you have three years either from the date the injury happened or the date that you became aware that a mistake had been made.
If you believe that your employer has acted negligently, resulting in your eye injury, it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible.
How much compensation can I get for eye injury?
The amount of eye injury compensation you can expect to receive depends heavily on the seriousness of the injury and the prognosis for any future complications.
- Other factors that can affect the damages awarded include:Loss of current and future earnings.
- Cost of ongoing treatment.
- Any private or specialist treatment required.
- Emotional trauma.
- Cost of equipment and adaptations to the home.

Here at Hudgell Solicitors, we have helped clients obtain eye injury compensation of thousands of pounds, helping them to get back on track after life-changing injuries.
