Eye injuries we handle
Injuries you can claim for
Eye injuries range from minor scratches to permanent vision loss. Whatever the severity of your injury, we've handled sight loss claims like yours before, and we'll fight for every penny you're owed.
Corneal scratches & abrasions
Foreign objects, dust, or debris scratching the surface of the eye. Extremely painful and can lead to infection or lasting sensitivity if untreated.
Chemical burns to the eye
Acid, alkali, or solvent splashes causing severe damage to the cornea and surrounding tissue. Often results in permanent scarring.
Penetrating eye injuries
Sharp objects piercing the eye. These are among the most serious eye injuries and often require emergency surgery to save any remaining vision.
Partial or total vision loss
Detached retinas, optic nerve damage, and other conditions leading to permanent sight loss. These life-changing injuries attract significant compensation.
Psychological impact
Anxiety, depression, and fear about your future vision. The mental toll of an eye injury is a recognised condition that deserves proper compensation.

Questions about making an eye injury claim? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
Yes, if someone else's negligence caused your eye injury within the last three years, you absolutely deserve compensation. Whether it's a workplace accident, car accident, or assault, if they were at fault, you have a valid claim. Your eyes have no natural protection in most accidents.
We see people struggling with vision problems, mounting medical bills, and fear about their future. None of that should be your burden alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Yes, your employer has a legal duty to protect your eyes at work. If they failed to provide safety goggles, proper training, or adequate equipment, and your eyes were damaged as a result, you can claim compensation. This applies to chemical splashes, flying debris, welding flash, and any other workplace eye hazard.
Compensation depends on the severity of your eye injury. Minor eye injuries may be worth £3,710–£8,200, while total loss of sight in one eye can reach £51,460–£54,830. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical costs, care needs, and lifestyle changes on top of your injury compensation.
You don't need to wait until you've fully recovered to start your claim. In fact, starting early helps preserve evidence. Your solicitor will arrange a medical assessment that accounts for ongoing treatment and future prognosis, ensuring your compensation reflects the full long-term impact.
Absolutely. Vision loss and eye injuries often cause significant anxiety, depression, and fear about the future. The psychological impact is a recognised injury that forms part of your compensation claim. We ensure mental health impacts are properly valued alongside the physical damage.
In many cases, you have three years from when your eye injury happened to start your claim, although exceptions can apply. Starting sooner can help preserve evidence and avoid unnecessary delay.
Eye injuries are more common than most people realise. The Royal National Institute of Blind People estimates that around 250,000 people attend A&E with eye injuries each year in the UK. Workplace eye injuries alone account for thousands of cases annually, with many being entirely preventable.
These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've suffered an eye injury that wasn't your fault.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after an eye injury.
Don't let someone else's negligence cost you your sight and your compensation. We fight for every penny you're owed, and there are no upfront costs*.
