An eye injury can be a life-changing event for you or your loved one. Car accidents are the number one cause of head injuries, causing serious harm to the brain or face, which can result in impaired vision.
Your vision is part of your everyday life. When you fully or partially lose your eyesight because of a car crash, life as you once knew it will never be the same.
Injuries to the head are common in car accidents. Whether you suffered a traumatic brain injury or direct harm to your eye, temporary or permanent vision loss can occur, changing the way you live. Additionally, you can lose your ability to work, adding financial strain to your life.
Severe injuries to your eyes can include the following:
Damage to the Optic Nerve – Increased pressure within the skull can put pressure on the optic nerve, cutting off circulation of the blood and resulting in vision loss or blindness.
Detached Retina – When the retina separates from the tissue around it, serious harm like permanent blindness can occur.
Vitreous Hemorrhage – When your injuries cause blood vessels in the eye to bleed, your eyesight can be damaged.
From minor car accidents to severe collisions, vision problems can occur in many different ways. Some examples of vision impairment include the following:
Double vision
Sensitivity to light
Damage to the eyelid
Full or partial blindness
Orbital fracture
Ruptured eyeball
When one or both eyes are injured due to the negligence of another person, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your injuries to cover your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
