From the moment you get in touch, we take care of gathering medical evidence, liaising with specialists and building a strong case focused on your recovery, compensation and peace of mind.
What Types of Eye Injuries Can Be Claimed?
An eye injury claim may arise when someone else’s negligence has caused damage to your eye, vision or the supporting structures. Common situations include:
- Trauma from an accident at work (e.g., flying debris, lack of protective eyewear)
- Accidents in public places or on the road (e.g., shattered glass, impact injuries)
- Chemical splashes, burns or irritants causing corneal damage
- Medical or surgical negligence involving the eye or vision-related treatment
- Sporting or leisure-time incidents where safety standards were inadequate
When an injury leads to vision impairment, pain, the need for ongoing treatment or changes to your life, you may be entitled to claim.
What You Can Claim For
Eye injury claims can cover a broad range of losses, for example:
- Compensation for pain, suffering and the longer-term impact on your vision, lifestyle and daily activities.
- Costs of past and future medical treatment (including specialist care, rehabilitation, adaptive aids or prosthetics) and travel to appointments.
- Loss of earnings (past and future) if your ability to work is impacted, including changes in career or reduced potential.
- Home or vehicle adaptations, equipment to assist vision or changes to lifestyle due to visual impairment.
- Psychological effect (anxiety, depression, loss of confidence) stemming from a vision injury.
How We Can Help You
When you choose to work with Baker Hardman you can be assured you’re getting the best legal support you can. We treat every case with the care and attention it needs and do our very best to support you through whichever legal issue you’re facing. When you instruct us, here is what we’ll do:
Free Initial Consultation
We’ll discuss the incident, how your eye injury occurred, your medical treatment and what the injury means for your life now.
Evidence Collection & Expert Reports
We’ll help you obtain the necessary medical assessments, vision specialist input, workplace/accident reports, and documentation of how your injury has affected your work, daily life or future prospects.
Assessment of Liability & Value
We’ll analyse who may be legally responsible (e.g., employer, product manufacturer, public-place operator, medical provider) and estimate the likely value of your claim, including both pain & suffering (general damages) and your financial losses (special damages).
Negotiation / Litigation
We’ll engage with the responsible party’s insurer or legal team, negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf, and if necessary prepare for court. We’ll also explore interim payments to support you if you’re facing urgent costs.
Settlement & Aftercare
Once your claim is resolved, we ensure you receive your compensation, help you understand future care/recovery options, and make sure your award reflects both current and future needs.
Why Act Now?
The sooner you instruct a specialist, the stronger your case tends to be, as early evidence gathering through medical records, accident reports and photographs is vital. Under UK law you generally have three years from the date you knew, or ought to have known, your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence to start your claim, so delaying could affect your rights. Early legal advice helps you assess interim needs, such as funding treatment, and safeguard your long-term position.

Got A Question About Eye Injury Claims?
No. You can continue working if medically safe to do so, and you will not usually pay legal fees upfront when we agree a no win, no fee arrangement. We will explain funding fully at the outset.
Duration varies with complexity—some resolve within months, others take longer (particularly where major vision loss or complex liability is involved).
We’ll still support you. If liability is disputed we may need to gather more evidence, engage experts and potentially proceed to court—but we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Yes. Even partial loss of vision, reduced function, or damage requiring ongoing support may form the basis of a claim. What matters is that someone else’s negligence played a material role.
