Eye injuries and loss of vision are among the most devastating injuries that a person can suffer in the workplace since they often cause significant pain and result in loss of vision.

If you engage our services, we will work tirelessly to help you seek a just outcome. We assist people in a variety of workers’ compensation matters in cities throughout New Jersey.
Causes Of Eye Injuries And Vision Loss In The Workplace
One of the most common causes of eye injuries is debris, such as metal shards, pieces of glass, nails, and splinters that fly into the eyes of an employee. This type of injury often occurs in employees working on construction sites, on assembly lines, or in industrial occupations. Head injuries can also cause vision disturbances and can be caused by falls, motor vehicle collisions, and falling objects. Workers may also suffer eye injuries due to toxic chemicals that come in contact with the eye, or long-term exposure to harmful lights or UV rays. Eye injuries can cause blindness, light sensitivity, migraines, a reduced field of vision, and blurred and double vision. In many instances, a person who suffers a severe eye injury will be unable to return to work. If this happens, they should promptly consult an eye injury attorney in New Jersey.

Benefits Available For People Who Suffer Eye Injuries At Work
Employees who suffer eye injuries in the workplace may be able to recover both medical benefits and income benefits, depending on the severity of their injuries. Medical benefits include any treatment that is reasonable and that the employee needs to be restored to his or her pre-injury condition. Generally, this may include hospitalization, surgery, prescriptions, and prosthetic devices, such as a glass eye.
If the employee is unable to work for more than seven days, he or she may be entitled to recover temporary total disability benefits. Temporary total benefits are based on the employee’s weekly wage but must fall within state-defined parameters. An employee will receive temporary total benefits until his or her treating physician states that the employee has reached maximum medical improvement, or until the employee returns to work.
