Experienced New York Loss of Vision Lawyer Fighting for Your Rights

Your eyes are sensitive and easy to injure, which is why anyone who injures your eyes and causes a loss of vision or other eyesight issues needs to be held accountable.

If you suffered an injury that caused vision problems and associated health and life issues, you may be entitled to seek compensation. Our loss of vision lawyers serving New York victims can help with your claim and lawsuit.

When Can You Pursue Compensation for an Accident Involving the Loss of Vision?

You have the right to pursue compensation when the negligence or harmful actions of another party were responsible for your injuries. If someone else caused your loss of vision, they could be held liable.

Identifying the Liable Parties

Who could be liable for your injuries depends on the situation. The following includes some examples of parties who may be liable for your injuries:

  • Vehicle drivers: If the driver who hit your car caused the accident because they were distracted, drowsy, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or simply careless or reckless, they could be held accountable.
  • Property owners, managers, or other parties related to a premises: Many injuries result from a fall or incident resulting from dangerous or defective conditions on a premises. If your injuries were the result of such a condition, you may be able to bring a claim against a property owner or other responsible party.
  • Product manufacturers: If, for example, a deployed airbag was defective and caused your injuries and loss of vision, then the manufacturer of that airbag could be held responsible. Eye injuries can happen with other defective products as well.
  • Assailants: A physical assault can easily leave behind injuries that lead to vision loss. If your injuries were the result of negligent security which allowed an assault to take place, you may have the right to bring a claim for substantial compensation.
  • Doctors: A poorly performed emergency or elective surgery, like laser eye surgery, can result in eye injuries.
  • Negligent third parties on a work site: Accidents often happen in the workplace, especially in industrial environments or on construction sites. This is why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a variety of rules and regulations for workplaces, including standards for dealing with and preventing eye injuries or other hazards.

Though you are typically unable to sue an employer for a work-related injury, you could file a claim or suit against a negligent third party, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer.

Damages You Can Recover After a Loss-of-Vision Accident in New York

Your compensation can help cover a variety of damages related to your loss of vision. Under New York Law, a negligent party or parties may be liable to pay for the following types of damages:

Pain and Suffering and the Loss of Enjoyment of Life

Any injury that causes loss of vision can be traumatic, painful, and affect your life for years and possibly the rest of your life.

Depending upon the circumstances of your unique case, you may be entitled to compensation for your physical and emotional injuries for the past and into the future.

If your loss of vision and eye injury prevent you from participating in an activity that you once enjoyed, like a sport or a hobby, that needs to be considered as well. It may not seem like a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but this loss of enjoyment affects your life and mental health. It needs to be considered when fair compensation is calculated.

Medical Bills

A loss of vision can mean hefty medical bills. You will likely need immediate care, and you may need to continue going back to doctors and hospitals in the near future. Your compensation can account for that cost of future care as well.

Lost Wages and Future Earning Potential

A loss of vision can easily prevent you from doing your job. Even if you recover or your injury is less serious, you will likely need recovery time that results in missed paychecks and financial hardship for your family. Your loss of vision could also limit your future earning potential and your continued economic contributions to your household.
