Being able to see is something many of us take for granted, however when something happens to affect that, it can be very distressing and often very painful and potentially be life changing, serious injury. It can impact your ability to work and look after your family.
You could claim compensation if the injury happened as a result of somebody else’s fault whether it occurred as a result of an accident at work or, as a result of a road traffic accident, as a result of medical negligence, sporting injuries, negligent laser surgery or an accident whilst working in the armed forces.
We're rated‘Excellent’We often sadly see people sustaining an eye injury or impairment to their vision as a result of an accident at work, military claim, medical negligence, road traffic accident, industrial disease in the following types of situation:
Many of these accidents are avoidable and in many of these situations there are laws in place to protect you to prevent or minimize the risk of you being injured. If your accident happens in the workplace, your employer has a responsibility to protect you from such injuries. If it happens in a public place, then you may be able to make a claim against whoever is responsible such as the local council or the owner or occupier of the land you were injured on.
Our Personal Injury Solicitors are experts in dealing with these claims and can help you get access to support, medical treatment and rehabilitation. We will also work hard to get you the compensation you deserve.

At Simpson Millar we want to help you. We are proud of our track record and the comments from our clients which is at the end of the day why we do the work we do.
Our specialist team includes nationally recognised personal injury claim experts, and some are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and accredited personal injury specialists as part of the Law Society Scheme.
We will speak to you in plain English, not legal jargon, and keep you updated to make sure you know what is happening with your case.
We have a strong track record of recovering significant amounts of compensation for our clients and are well versed to help people with eye injuries causing visual impairment
We’ll be upfront your legal costs in advance and talk you through a No Win, No Fee agreement.
This is the first thing to do if you want to make a claim. Our team has specialist knowledge to help you every step of the way. We will assess if we think you have a successful claim.
If we think you have a strong case, we will contact the company responsible and their insurers. They are legally obligated to have Employers Liability and Public Liability insurance to cover them for any accident claims.
Next, we will gather evidence such as photos, witness reports and medical records to support your case.
They will assess your injury and create a report detailing what impact it’s having on your life.
We Will Use This Report to Establish How Much Compensation You Are Owed
If the insurance company admits full or partial liability for your injury, we could ask for an Interim Payment. This would release a portion of your compensation to you while your claim is being settled. This could help pay for any immediate medical attention you may need
If the insurance company doesn’t accept liability, then we may have to go to Court. If this happens, we will be there to support you throughout the process.

When we make a claim for an eye injury on your behalf, we will consider not only compensation for your pain and suffering, but also address how the injury will affect you throughout the rest of your life, addressing any extra needs you may have as a result. Things like adapting a property to suit your new needs, ongoing medical treatment, compensation for loss of earnings or enjoyment of everyday activities are all things we will consider.

If your claim is successful, it is likely that your compensation will be paid by the insurance company of the company responsible.

In the UK, many people decide to claim compensation after being injured due to an accident which was someone else’s fault. In law, this is called a Personal Injury Claim. The most common of these accidents include road traffic accidents and accidents at work.
Yes. Sports clubs are responsible for making sure that any visitors to their premises are reasonably safe, and the club also has a duty of care to its employees. That means anyone either visiting or working at a sports club could claim compensation if they’re injured and believe it’s because the sports club was negligent in some way.
Horse riding is a popular hobby and sport but accidents can happen, no matter how experienced of a rider you are. While many situations can be out of your control, if you’re seriously injured in a horse riding accident, and it could have been prevented by someone responsible for your safety, we could help you claim compensation.
