Clear advice about your options
We consider how the injury occurred, who may have been responsible, the treatment you have received and the effect the loss of sight or hearing has had on your work, finances and everyday life.
This initial assessment can help establish whether there may be grounds for a claim and explain the options available to you.
Support beyond the claim
Sight or hearing loss may affect many different aspects of everyday life. We can help you explore other services and support that may be relevant to your circumstances.
Could you make a claim?
You may be able to make a claim where sight or hearing loss was caused wholly or partly by another person’s negligence or wrongdoing.
These injuries can arise in a range of circumstances, including:
- road traffic accidents
- accidents at work
- exposure to excessive noise
- head or facial injuries
- accidents involving machinery or equipment
- medical negligence
- chemical exposure
- assaults or other criminal injuries
In some cases, the loss may be immediate. In others, symptoms may develop or worsen over time.
If you are unsure whether another person or organisation may have been responsible, it can still be worth obtaining specialist advice.
What could compensation cover?
Every claim is different, but compensation may take account of:
- your injuries and their impact
- loss of earnings and future earning capacity
- medical treatment and rehabilitation
- care and support
- specialist hearing or visual equipment
- assistive technology
- adaptations to your home or workplace
- communication support
- travel and other expenses
- support with returning to work or retraining
- the longer-term effect on your everyday life
Where sight or hearing loss is permanent, a claim may also need to consider future equipment, treatment and support needs.
