Vision is one of our most vital senses. It allows us to connect with our environment, navigate the world, and enjoy our day-to-day lives. When that sense is compromised—especially as the result of someone else's negligence—it can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences. If you or a loved one is coping with vision loss caused by a personal injury, the law may entitle you to significant compensation.
At Arshakyan Law Firm, our experienced vision loss attorneys in Los Angeles understand the life-changing impact of these injuries. We’re committed to helping victims hold the responsible parties accountable through strategic, compassionate legal representation.
The Devastating Impact of Vision Loss in Personal Injury Cases
Vision loss is not just a medical condition—it is a life-altering event. Individuals who lose their sight due to an accident or injury often face an uphill battle. They may no longer be able to work in their current field, may require significant home modifications, and often deal with chronic pain or emotional trauma.
Common Consequences of Vision Loss:
- Medical bills for surgeries, specialist visits, rehabilitation, and long-term care
- Loss of income and future earning potential
- Psychological trauma, including depression and anxiety
- Strain on family relationships
- Loss of independence in daily living
Legal Grounds for Pursuing Compensation
There are multiple legal paths to recovering damages for vision loss. At Arshakyan Law Firm, we tailor your claim based on the cause of injury and the circumstances involved.
- Negligence: Negligence occurs when an individual or entity fails to act with reasonable care, resulting in harm to another. If you suffered vision loss in a car accident, a slip-and-fall, or another avoidable incident, you may be able to file a personal injury claim under this theory.
- Product Liability: If your injury was caused by a defective product—such as a faulty airbag, malfunctioning medical device, or unsafe consumer product—you may have grounds for a product liability lawsuit.
- Workers' Compensation: If your eye injury happened at work, especially in high-risk environments like construction or industrial settings, you may qualify for workers' compensation.
- Medical Malpractice: If a healthcare provider’s negligence, such as a botched surgery, misdiagnosis, or prescription error, led to your vision loss, you may be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim.
Types of Damages You May Recover
Recoverable Damages Include:
- Medical Expenses: Includes immediate treatment, long-term care, medications, specialist visits, and adaptive technologies.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for lost income and diminished earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Covers physical discomfort, mental anguish, and emotional distress.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Renovations, mobility aids, or ongoing personal assistance.
- Loss of Consortium: Impact on relationships and family life.
Proving Your Personal Injury Claim
Key Elements to Establish:
- Negligence: Showing that the defendant failed to meet a reasonable standard of care.
- Causation: Proving a direct link between the defendant’s actions and your injury.
- Expert Testimony: Using expert medical witnesses to support the claim.
Common Causes of Vision Loss in Personal Injury Cases:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Caused by blunt force trauma affecting vision centers in the brain.
- Car Accidents: Airbags, shattered glass, or direct trauma can cause severe eye injuries.
