It is vital that you seek medical assistance immediately, and register your compensation claim with a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible, so that the progress and consequences of your eye injury can be accurately assessed.
Sight is perhaps the most important of our senses if we are to lead a normal life. Amounts awarded for eye injury are therefore quite high. For example:
Transient or minor eye injury, such as being hit in the eye, with some temporary visual disturbance, but with a complete recovery. £1,000 to £4,500.
Permanent impairment or complete loss of sight in one eye. £6,500 to £28,000.
Complete loss of an eye. £28,000 to £34,000.
Total loss of sight in one eye with reduced vision in the other eye. £33,000 to £90,000.
Eye injury causing total blindness. About £140,000.
