Compensation for eye and vision injuries
Eye and vision injury valuations can reflect loss of sight, visual impairment, pain, treatment, cosmetic effects and the impact on work and independence.
Guide figures are being prepared.
This injury area has been added to the body navigator. Its valuation categories will be published after the 18th edition source has been checked.
This is guidance, not a quote. The bracket is only one part of a valuation. Medical evidence, recovery, financial losses, liability and the effect on your life must all be considered.
Understanding the range
What can affect eye and vision injury compensation?
This guide has been separated from facial injuries so eye and vision claims can be explained properly. The relevant guideline figures are being checked before publication. The diagnosis is only the starting point: the evidence must show the recovery period and the effect the injury has had on the individual.
Daily life and independence
Pain, movement, sleep, work, hobbies, care needs and loss of independence can all influence where an injury falls within a guideline range.
Medical and financial evidence
Independent medical evidence helps establish prognosis. Payslips, receipts, care records and expert evidence may support financial losses assessed separately from the injury award.
