How Much Compensation Can I Claim for an Eye Injury?
The consequences of eye injuries can be complicated and the issues they cause can vary greatly from person to person. For example, an adult may have to change their career if they are able to work again as a result of their injuries, whereas, for a child, the lifetime implications of living with an injury or damaged eye could become problematic as they grow older.
The amount of compensation you can claim for an eye injury depends on the severity of the damage. This can range from:
| Total blindness | In the region of £124,210 | ||
| Loss of sight in one eye with severely reduced vision in the other | £76,510 to £143,270 | ||
| Loss of sight in one eye with moderately reduced vision in the other | £50,870 to £84,510 | ||
| Total loss of one eye | £43,710 to £52,360 | ||
| Total loss of sight in one eye | £39,270 to £43,710 | ||
| Serious impaired vision in one eye | £18,880 to £31,320 | ||
| Minor permanent impaired vision in one eye | £7,270 to £16,720 | ||
| Injury to both eyes | £3,150 to £6,960 | ||
| Injury to one eye | £1,760 to £3,150 |
Please Note: Figures shown are approximate, based on experience and previous settlement amounts attributed to an individual's pain and suffering. Final settlement awards may be worth more or less than the stated amount, depending on the injury and individual personal circumstances.
An eye injury you have sustained could be the fault of an organisation. We have seen cases where the management of leisure facilities, such as group sports, have been negligent in their provision of safety facilities or failed to provide sufficient warning of risks.
Compensation can also be claimed from the management of public places, individuals or manufacturers if a faulty product is involved.
