Loss of Sight Claims

Duncan Lewis Loss of Vision Compensation Claims Lawyers UK

 

Sight loss is one of the most traumatic events an individual can experience – and if sight loss occurs as a result of the negligence of another party, a compensation claim for loss of sight can be made.

 

Duncan Lewis personal injury solicitors are renowned for handling loss of sight claims – and we frequently act for clients who have experienced sight loss as a result of:

 

  • Accidents at work
  • Agricultural accidents
  • Birth injuries
  • Blast injuries
  • Building and construction accidents
  • Diabetes claims
  • Head injuries
  • Industrial accidents
  • Infection
  • GP negligence
  • Live combat injuries (caused by negligence)
  • Ophthalmologist negligence
  • Public liability claims
  • Sports accidents.

 

Sight loss can occur as a result of trauma – or if an underlying medical condition such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes or hypothyroidism is not diagnosed or is misdiagnosed.

 

Whether your sight loss has been caused by an accident resulting from employer negligence, or as a result of medical negligence, Duncan Lewis solicitors can advise you on making a no win no fee compensation claim for loss of sight.

 

How to make a claim for loss of sight

 

There is generally a three-year limitation period for making no win no fee loss of sight claims – and as sight loss can deteriorate further, it is important to seek expert legal advice on making a claim as soon as possible.. In some circumstances limitation can be extended.

 

Children who suffer sight loss as a result of negligence before the age of 18 can make a claim for compensation up to the age of 21 – your Duncan Lewis solicitor can also advise parents and guardians on how to make a no win no fee loss of sight claim before a child reaches the age of 18 by acting as the child’s Litigation Friend.

 

Duncan Lewis personal injury solicitors always press for maximum compensation in loss of sight claims – and can also advise on rehabilitation, access to welfare benefits, adaptations to the home, mobility aids and assistive devices.
