Minor eye injuries (£1,600 ~ £6,600)
You could be awarded between £1,600 and £6,600 as compensation for suffering a minor eye injury in an accident.
Eye injuries where a full recovery is made within 6 months are classed as minor eye injuries. This includes temporary loss of vision, as well as bruising to the eye and eye socket fractures. Eye injuries are often caused by impact trauma to the eye, but can also be caused by exposure to toxic fumes such as smoke and chemical burns from being splashed with corrosive liquid.

You could be awarded between £6,900 and £30,000 as compensation for suffering a moderate eye injury in an accident.
