Bringing an Eye Injury Compensation Claim
There are many different scenarios where serious eye injuries can occur due to the negligence of a third party. Below are some examples of common situations that can result in successful compensation claims against the negligent party.
- Inadequate equipment provided in a work environment – for example, missing safety goggles, glasses, or face shields.
- Faulty machinery or equipment in a work environment – where the employer failed to carry out regular safety inspections.
- A lack of training to operate potentially dangerous machinery – for example, processing equipment in a factory environment.
- Improper storage or usage of dangerous chemicals – resulting in the chemicals making contact with the employee’s eye.
- Military or emergency services accidents – for example, injuries sustained in a combat training scenario or by paramedics responding to an emergency call.
If you have sustained an eye injury in a circumstance similar to those above, you should seek assistance with documenting exactly what happened and gathering any necessary evidence regarding the accident, for example, CCTV footage from your place of work. Should you require assistance with this, please contact our team today.
