EYE INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Eye Injury Compensation – Negligent 3rd Party Claims

Whilst eyes can be damaged by the physical trauma that may occur in a car accident, as a result of a fall or during a criminal assault most injuries to the eyes arise from industrial processes involving foreign bodies piercing and entering the eye or because of caustic or corrosive chemicals or gasses coming into contact with the surface of an eye. In order to make an eye injury compensation claim it must be proved that a negligent third party was to blame for the incident or accident that caused the injury.

Injury to the Eyes in the Workplace – Health & Safety Regs.

It is incumbent on an employer to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and in the event of an employee suffering injuries to the eyes in an accident at work, failure to do so may mean that an employee can take action that is likely to be successful for eye injury compensation. The health and safety regulations in regards to these matters places a high duty of care on employers who must not only ensure that plant and equipment is satisfactory and provide protective safety equipment where necessary but must also ensure that there is adequate safety training and must also take a pro-active stance in regards to the use of safety equipment and the wearing of protective clothing wherever it is appropriate. An employer must ensure that staff members actually wear protective clothing on threat of dismissal which must be carried out if an employee is reluctant to properly protect themselves in order to protect the position of the employers and in addition inevitably ensure compliance with their insurers requirements.
