Eye injuries can happen in a wide variety of ways, from a car crash or an accident on a construction site to a run-in with a defective product or a botched medical procedure.

Regardless of the cause of the injury, it is critical to act quickly to seek medical treatment. Prompt treatment can be the difference between losing and keeping some of your eyesight.

Compensation for Eye Injuries

Anyone who suffers an eye or other injury in Louisiana has the right to seek money damages from those responsible, whether it is a negligent driver or a defective product manufacturer.

The damages typically available in these cases include compensation for medical bills, missed wages during recuperation and any reduction in earning capacity caused by the injury. Additional compensation is also often available for pain, suffering and emotional distress.

To get those damages, you typically have to prove that the person or entity responsible for the injury was negligent. That means showing that the person or entity did not live up to an expected level of care or conduct under the circumstances and that this caused the injury.
