Ophthalmology negligence claims
It is often the case that people will develop complications with their eyes due to natural ageing or due to a specific incident that requires medical intervention.
We have represented clients who have suffered a variety of eye problems and injuries as a result of a healthcare professional’s error or mistake. The types of cases that we have dealt with include diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, delay in diagnosis of various eye conditions (such as glaucoma), incorrect management of a foreign body in the eye, incorrect cataract and laser eye surgery, as well as corneal abrasions.
When an injury occurs to the eye, the consequences for the client can be devastating and even can cause blindness, which will then result in an extensive care and rehabilitation package being required.
Ophthalmology is a lesser-known area for medical negligence claims, and often clients do not feel like they can get compensation. This is where we can help you using our expertise to get the compensation needed to live your life as fully as possible.
