How Eye Injuries Happen?

A loss of sight can happen through a wide range of injury types. We represent clients in a wide range of eye injury cases, including:

Accidents at work, such as construction injuries, warehouse accidents, and factory accidents from lack of safety goggles or faulty machinery guards in factories and construction sites.
Sports & Leisure: Impact from equipment or collisions in contact sports.
Gardening & DIY: Injuries from trimmers, high-pressure washers, or chemical splashes.
Public Place Accidents: Falls or impacts caused by poorly maintained premises.

This is not an exhaustive list of accidents that could result in a partial or full loss of sight, and the full impact of your condition may take some time to fully present itself. With this in mind, getting the compensation you are owed is highly important. Contact our team of experts for advice and support during your compensation claim.

HSE Statistics & Employer Duty

The HSE (2025 data) shows that 59,219 injuries were reported under RIDDOR last year. Employers have a strict duty to provide a safe working environment. If you were injured because you weren’t given the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), you may be entitled to 100% compensation under our No Win No Fee agreement.

Testimonials

They were extremely professional and handled my case with care. Grace Newbold was amazing throughout, communicating with me all the way through and offering exceptional support in a time that was enormously daunting and scary. I was quick to receive medical help including physio therapy. The 2 years my claim was going on Grace and the team provided a service that was outstanding, in a time that was extremely hard for me. I would recommend ASD highly and will be referring anyone who is needing their services. Thank you again to ASD and Grace for supporting me through a difficult time and doing this with professionalism, care and compassion.

Professional, Highly Recommended I was recommended ASD from a family member. I am so pleased I followed this up. Chris Chappell has been so professional, caring, understanding and honest throughout the process. It has meant a lot.

It’s been one of the hardest times for me, especially losing my job as well, whilst off work and in a pandemic. It has taught me a lot about companies, but it has also made me realise companies like yours are there to help.

I had never been in this position before and it was a very hard time for me.

ASD offered a home appointment as I was unable to travel and visited within 24 hours of me contacting them.

Throughout my case I was updated regularly and everything was explained clearly. Any phone calls or emails that I sent were answered quickly and I was never left waiting for a response.

I was supported throughout; I was dealing with a traumatic incident and ASD kindly arranged for counselling to be provided.

I am very grateful to Ralph and his team for everything they did but also showing compassion and giving reassurance throughout and most of all understanding what I was going through.
