Eye Injury Lawyer in Linden
Eye injuries are becoming more and more common often caused by accidents or the negligence of doctors. While eye injuries can be caused by uncommon circumstances like failed laser eye surgery, too much exposure to ultra violet rays in places like tanning salons, defective contact lenses, the majority are from ordinary car accidents and injuries that are work-related eye injuries. Each day more than 2,000 U.S. workers seek some form of medical treatment because of an eye injury sustained at work. More than 800,000 work-related eye injuries occur each year particularly at construction sites. In 70% of these cases the injury is sustained by contact with an object or equipment. The remainder for the most part were caused by exposure to harmful substances or environments. This information was determined by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (http://www.cdc.gov/Features/dsworkPlaceEye/)
Eye injuries that result in partial or total loss of vision are traumatic experiences. Sadly, eye injury and vision loss cases are becoming frequent sources of personal injury litigation. Defective products, medical malpractice and auto accidents are all contributing factors to eye injury and vision loss caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of others. Determining liability in an eye injury case is challenging and requires the help of a highly experienced personal injury attorney who is familiar with these types of cases.
