An eye injury claim is a type of legal claim for compensation after you’ve sustained an injury to your eye due to someone else’s negligence. This could be caused by an accident at work, a public incident, a road traffic collision, or other situations where health and safety measures were not met. If it can be proven that another party was at fault, you may be entitled to make a claim.
You typically have up to three years from the date of the accident, or from the date a medical professional diagnosed your injuries, to make an eye injury claim for compensation.
For those under the age of 18, the three years do not usually begin until the child has turned 18. This means a claim can be brought at any point up to their 21st birthday.
However, seeking out an eye injury solicitor as early as possible ensures your case has the strongest chance of success.
Eye injuries can happen in many different ways, which means there are several types of eye injury compensation claims. The most common include:
partial or complete blindness, which may be short-term or permanent.
broken bones around the eye.
damage caused by exposure to harmful substances.
penetrating injuries from sharp objects.
such as metal shards, wood splinters, or other debris.
surface damage to the cornea.
internal bleeding or hemorrhaging in the eye.
separation of the retina from the back of the eye.
injury affecting vision signalling.
painful swelling or irritation of the coloured part of the eye.
Your eye injury solicitor will help identify which type of claim applies to your situation and who should be held responsible.
An eye injury, vision loss or blindness can affect every part of your life, from your ability to work to your independence and confidence. A successful eye injury claim can give you the financial security and support you need to adapt and move forward. Compensation can help you:
Time off work and the need for rehabilitation can affect your earnings, making compensation essential to reduce financial strain.
Specialist treatment can help protect your remaining vision and support recovery.
This ensures you have the right equipment to maintain independence and daily function.
Adaptations can help you move safely and comfortably in your own environment.
Coping with vision loss can be distressing, and funding for counselling or support services can make a real difference.

You may be eligible if you have received an eye injury, vision loss or blindness due to someone else’s negligence or actions. To be eligible for compensation, it’s essential to demonstrate that the other party was at fault and that their actions directly caused your injury.
Consulting an eye injury solicitor can help assess your case’s eligibility.
“No-win, no-fee” means you won’t pay us anything unless we win your case.
There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t owe us a penny. If we win, our fees will be taken from the compensation we recover for you — and we’ll explain all of this clearly before you sign anything.
It’s a simple promise: if you don’t win, you don’t pay.

An eye injury solicitor can help identify and gather the right evidence for your situation, easing the burden during an already difficult time.
In most cases, you will not need to go to court, as most eye accident claims are settled outside of court through negotiation between your solicitor and the insurance company of the party responsible for the injury.
If an agreement cannot be reached, however, the claim may proceed to court. If this happens, your expert eye injury solicitor will guide you through the process and handle the legal steps on your behalf.
Every case is different – meaning, each resolution period differs, too. If the defendant admits liability, the claim could be resolved, and you could receive compensation within a few months.
However, for more complicated cases – such as disputes over medical evidence or neglect – this could be longer.
