A sight loss compensation claim qualifies when a person suffers partial or complete loss of vision due to another party’s negligence. This may include workplace accidents, road traffic collisions, medical errors such as misdiagnosis or surgical mistakes, or unsafe conditions in public places. If the injury could have been prevented by proper care or safety measures, a legal claim may be possible.

An injured person can seek compensation when sight loss affects their daily life, ability to work, or long-term independence. Compensation may cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, future care costs, and pain and suffering.
