Loss of Sight Injury Claims in Pennsylvania
Skilled Harrisburg Catastrophic Injury Attorneys
A person who loses their eyesight in an accident will undoubtedly face significant challenges. Depending on the extent of vision loss, a victim may become unable to drive, perform a job, run a business, or care for children or other dependents at home. In addition to these everyday challenges, a person may suffer emotional distress knowing that their entire life has changed because of someone else’s careless actions.
At Metzger Wickersham, we believe that carelessness that causes accidents should not go unpunished. If you or a loved one has sustained an injury causing vision loss, you may be entitled to compensation. Our firm can provide the experienced legal help you need to pursue maximum results. Let our Harrisburg catastrophic injury lawyers fight for the money you deserve for your medical bills, lost income and earning capacity, loss of quality of life, and more.
Vision loss can result from:
- Car accidents
- Chemical exposure
- Construction accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Medication errors
- Non-sterile eye medication
Vision Loss Caused by Medical Negligence
Many cases of accidental blindness or vision loss involve surgical errors. For example, although LASIK eye correction surgery has come a long way since it was first introduced, if it is not performed properly, the patient may lose their vision. Vision loss may also occur in the event that a doctor accidentally damages the optic nerve during brain surgery or plastic surgery on the face.
These errors can cause potentially long-term effects, including pain, stinging, or burning in the eyes, loss of depth perception, double vision, infection, blurred vision, seeing spots, night blindness, uncomfortable dry eyes, or total vision loss.

Causes of Injury-Induced Loss of Sight
What makes many of these types of accidents particularly tragic or upsetting is that they often occur in a setting that is designed for fun or leisure, such as at a paintball course or batting cage. In many cases, these accidents occur simply because someone failed to make sure proper safety measures were in place.
Loss of sight can occur due to any of the following, or more:
- Chemical Burns
- Head Trauma
- Sharp Objects
- Physical Assault
- Bright Light
- Electric Shock
