Florida Law: Your Rights After an Eye Injury

Workers’ Comp vs. Third-Party Claims

If it happened at work, workers’ comp may cover care and partial wages. You may still have a third-party claim against non-employers (owners, contractors, manufacturers) to recover pain and suffering and full damages.

Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)

You can recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault; your compensation is reduced by your assigned percentage of fault.

Medical & Functional Considerations (That Drive Value)

Key diagnoses: corneal/scleral lacerations, abrasions, hyphema, traumatic glaucoma, uveitis, retinal detachment, optic neuropathy, orbital fractures, chemical/thermal burns, phototrauma (arc flash)
Testing & records: visual acuity, visual fields, OCT, tonometry (IOP), fundus exams, photographs, X-ray/CT/ultrasound, ER and specialist notes
Daily/work function: driving, screen use, reading, fine tasks, brightness/light sensitivity, depth perception, balance/secondary falls
Prognosis & future care: surgeries (corneal suturing, vitrectomy, retinal procedures), post-traumatic cataract, IOP control, vision therapy, specialty lenses, low-vision aids

What Is My Eye Injury Case Worth?

Damages You Can Recover

Economic: ER/hospital, ophthalmology/retina specialists, surgeries and medications, therapies, devices (specialty lenses, low-vision aids), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, medical transport, future care
Non-Economic: pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment, anxiety/depression, ocular/periocular disfigurement
Property: glasses/contacts and damaged devices

Value drivers: permanence of visual deficit, need for future surgeries, work impact, driving/safety limits, and objective evidence (OCT, fields, IOP).

How Insurers Undervalue Eye Injury Claims (and How We Respond)

  • “Vision is subjective” → we anchor the claim with OCT, fields, IOP and functional evaluations
  • Comparative fault → we prove defective design, notice of hazards, or third-party negligence
  • No future medicals in offers → life-care plan, costs for lenses/aids, and likely surgeries
  • Treatment delays → we explain pathophysiology (delayed symptoms) and show continuous care

Common Complications After Eye Trauma

  • Post-traumatic cataract, secondary glaucoma, corneal scarring
  • Retinal detachment and progressive vision loss
