Have You Suffered An Injury That Caused Visual Impairment In Rhode Island?
It is estimated that over 12 million people in the US over the age of 40 are dealing with some form of visual impairment. While many times this visual impairment is caused by disease or a truly unavoidable accident, many are due to the negligence of another person. Car crashes and slips and falls are some of the most common causes of visual impairment injuries - and causes that could be prevented. If you or a loved one has suffered a visual impairment injury or loss of vision, chances are you are seeing medical bills pile up and may even be dealing with a loss of income. An experienced Providence Visual Impairment Injury Lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of Injuries That Can Cause Visual Impairment
Your eyes are extremely fragile. They are protected by your skull and your eyelids, but there is still a possibility of an injury that causes visual impairmnet in just about any accident. There are several possible types of eye injuries, some much more serious than others. Here are some of the most common eye injuries which could possibly cause visual impairment.
- Foreign body in the eye - This could be anything from a grain of sand to a piece of glass. The seriousness of this injury depends on what the object is, and whether it has penetrated the eye, or if it floating in the eye socket.
- Traumatic iritis - The iris is the colored part of the eye that contains the muscle that controls the opening and closing of the pupil. If the iris is inflamed (usually due to blunt force trauma) it is called traumatic iritis.
- Corneal abrasions - The cornea is the clear layer that covers the eye. A corneal abrasion occurs when the cornea is scratched. Generally a minor injury, these abrasions usually heal on their own.
- Subconjunctival hemorrhage - This is when blood pools in the white part of the eye. Often caused by a blow to the eye, it can also sometimes happen spontaneously. The hemorrhage itself is not usually a severe injury, but it can accompany more serious issues.
- Chemical burns - Chemical burns occur when a chemical (usually in the form of a liquid) is splashed into the eye. This can be as mild as sunscreen or hairspray, or it can be a very serious injury if a much stronger chemical or acid gets into the eye.
- Orbital fractures - This is when the bones surrounding the eye break. These bones protect the eye and if they are broken it often means the eye itself has also sustained a very serious injury.
- Lacerations - Depending on where the laceration occurs, these can be very serious eye injuries. In particular, a laceration to the cornea or the sclera may require surgery to fix.

Who is responsible for an injury that causes visual impairment?
Responsibility for visual impairment depends on many factors. The easiest way to determine who is responsible for an eye injury, or other injury resulting in visual impairment, is to determine who is responsible for the incident that caused it. If a reckless driver is distracted by their cell phone and hits a pedestrian, they would likely be found responsible for that person’s injuries. Likewise, if a product malfunctions and causes someone to suffer visual impairment, there would be a possible product liability case where the product manufacturer or designer may be held responsible.
What types of accidents can result in visual impairment?
Visual impairment injuries can have a variety of causes. Getting hit with a projectile (like while playing a sport) may be the most common cause people think of. Some incidents, however, are caused by the negligence of another person, and in these situations, you may deserve compensation.
- Car Accidents - Car accidents are a common cause of visual impairment injuries. An impact to the eye or shattered glass hitting the eye are just some of the ways people may lose vision due to a car accident.
- Motorcycle Accidents - Even if you take every safety precaution while riding a motorcycle, an accident can still cause severe injuries. Visual impairment injuries are all too common in motorcycle accidents since there is often only a helmet protecting your face.
- Slip and Fall Accidents - Falling is the top cause of eye injury, particularly in older patients. An impact to the head that could be sustained in a fall, is often enough to cause significant injury to the eye.
- Product Liability - If a product is not designed or manufactured correctly, it can cause serious injuries, including causing visual impairment.
