What is Blindness or Loss of Sight due to Negligence?
Blindness or loss of sight due to negligence is when an individual's vision has been impaired or lost as a result of the failure of another person to take reasonable care. This can include accidents and medical malpractice.

That's why, here at Forbes Solicitors, we offer legal support for those who need the expertise of those who have experience with these kinds of cases.

What is a Loss of Sight Compensation Claim?
When a medical practitioner is supposed to perform a procedure on the eye, and they make a mistake it can sometimes cause severe problems for the patient in question. Either because it exacerbates the initial diagnosis or causes additional problems, it can sometimes lead to a significant loss of sight or blindness.
In this case, a person who has experienced this would be able to make a claim against the ophthalmologist who performed the surgery and with enough evidence that it has significantly affected their day-to-day life, could seek compensation.

Elaine EdwardsI would like to say how eternally grateful I am for the service that Lisa has given us through this devastating time of losing my mum.
Lisa has been completely honest and upfront from the start with what to expect, and "held our hand" all the way
Whenever I needed to contact Lisa she would either answer straight away or get back to me very quickly. I do believe that Lisa is a credit to Forbes and would highly recommend her
AnonymousForbes have been our legal team for the past 6 years and John Bennett has been the solicitor for our case. The amount of work and dedication carried out from John has been immense. We have settled this case knowing my child will be set for life and have everything we will ever need. I feel very lucky to have found a solicitor so passionate about what he does. There isn’t anything in this world we could thank John with but, from the bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Michelle MossLeonie was Very thorough and guided me through all the process from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble. We won the case and hopefully because of her hard work and dedication we will see some improvements within the NHS
AnonymousJohn Bennett at Forbes has been patient, supportive and understanding. From the outset I felt that my case was in safe hands. Throughout the process I have found that John is happy to explain terminology and procedures so that I have felt reassured and comfortable.
Lisa BromilowI dealt with Lisa Atkinson from the Blackburn branch. Lisa was always open and honest with regards to what we could expect from the case. Always quick to respond to any query we had, updated us along the way and was always professional. I found her to be very thorough in all dealings that we had with her, and would not hesitate to use again. Thank you
Causes of Blindness Negligence
There are a number of reasons why a patient may become blind as a result of negligence on the medical practitioner's behalf. Two of the main reasons are:
The surgery is performed poorly and leads to additional problems for the patient, or it means that the initial condition is not treated and allowed to advance further.
The patient is misdiagnosed, which means the wrong treatment is provided and the actual condition is allowed to advance which then leads to blindness.
