One of the types of injuries that makes people very squeamish are eye injuries. The idea of suffering an injury to the eye is both scary and potentially very dangerous.

In the United States every year, it is estimated that there are more than 2.4 million eye injuries for all sorts of reasons. This is an astounding number! These injuries happen in all kinds of settings, including public places where an injury may have been caused by someone else’s negligence.

If you or someone you know has suffered an eye injury, get professional medical attention immediately! There are different steps to take for blunt impact injuries, lacerations, or chemical burns. (For instance, never put a steak or other food on an eye injury – it’s an old wives’ tale. You are risking bacterial infection.) While you are receiving emergency treatment, try to remember the details of what happened to cause your injury, such as what you were doing and other activity that was going on around you. Then, as soon as possible, call the best Bronx personal injury law firm, Feiner & Lavy.

Eye injuries can happen in all sorts of ways, including a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, while in a car, or because somebody lost their grip on something. Because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, you shouldn’t have to bear the cost and responsibility for your treatment.

For instance, if someone dropped a glass and it shattered on the floor, it could lead to a shard of glass being lodged in your eye while you are doing nothing but sitting at a table. You’ve done nothing to cause that injury! Yet you could be looking at multiple surgeries and months of treatment in the hopes of having your eyesight restored. More expensive procedures to fix a condition caused by an injury could add many thousands of dollars to the bill for your treatment.

It isn’t only the eyeball itself. Your eyelid could suffer a severe laceration, requiring reconstructive plastic surgery. Your orbital (the eye socket) can be broken due to a blunt force injury that can happen if you fell down a set of stairs or were hit by a car. And there are all kinds of nerves, vessels and other structural components that could need attention due to an eye injury.

Injuries of this nature and the medical care, rehabilitation and corrective procedures that are needed after can run into hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
