Eye Injuries

Suffered an Eye Injury in a Las Vegas Accident? You May Be Eligible for Financial Recovery

Suffering an eye injury can be debilitating, and even life-changing. Depending on the severity of your eye injury, you may be permanently blinded in one or both eyes.

Your eyes are delicate, and if they are subjected to trauma, it could very well result in permanent loss of your vision. Public data indicates that more than two million people suffer traumatic eye injuries each year. The majority of these injuries result from car accidents.

Examples of Eye Injuries

Below is a general overview of the types of eye injuries that may occur in preventable accidents in or around Las Vegas.

• Non-penetrating eye injury – the eyeball is intact, but the protective rings around the eye have been affected
• Muscular entrapment eye injury – this occurs when the injury stems from a blunt force to the eye causing the inside of the skull to fracture along with the bone beneath or around the eyeball.
• “Blowout” fracture – this occurs when the eye socket receives a blunt force, and the eye socket either dislodges the eyeball or hinders the ability of the eye to function correctly.
• Penetrating eye injury – this occurs when the eyeball itself is injured or pierced, which may include injury of the inner eye and damage to all nerve and ocular function.

It is quite common for someone to suffer an eye injury in a serious auto accident. For example, someone could suffer a significant blow to the eye socket or have shattered glass penetrate the eye during the collision. Recovering from an eye injury may necessitate expensive and lengthy treatments, including potential surgery (or multiple surgeries).

Even then, the damage to your eye could be permanent. If your eye injury was caused by the careless actions of someone else, you may be able to pursue monetary compensation for your harms and losses, including:

• Medical costs associated with the treatment of your Eye injury
• Ongoing physical therapy
• Lost income due to your injury preventing you from working
• Pain and suffering that resulted from the injury
• Any permanent disability

How to Prevail in an Eye Injury Case in Las Vegas?

The exact circumstances surrounding each accident and associated injury are unique, so the legal strategy for your case may be different. Nevertheless, there are certain fundamental requirements associated with succeeding in an eye injury lawsuit.

If your eye injury occurred in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, you need to establish that the other motorist owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty of care, the breach proximately caused your bodily injuries, and you can produce evidence substantiating your claim that you were harmed.
