How can we help you?

Temporary damage to an eye can cause extreme inconvenience and may result in time off work.  Major damage to an eye or loss of sight can have a catastrophic impact upon your ability to drive and work. 

Should you suffer an eye injury or problems with your vision as a result of an accident, you have the right to make a claim.  We can help. 

Important things to consider when deciding to make a claim for damage to or loss of sight

Ultimately, only you can decide whether or not to make a claim.  We can help you make that decision, but it's worth remembering:

  • If you are claiming in respect of an accident, then you need to make a claim within three years of the date of the accident.
  • If you are claiming in respect of a disease or medical condition, then you need to make that claim within three years of the date you knew that disease or medical condition was caused by somebody else's negligence.
  • It should be possible to claim the cost of any corrective treatment or aids you require due to the injury you have sustained.
