New York Eye Injury Lawyer
Injuries to the eyes are especially scary because they can change your life in an instant. Damage caused by perforation or other trauma, illness, or a botched medical procedure can lead to impaired vision or loss of vision in one or both eyes. Even partial blindness can have a profound effect on your life, impacting your ability to work, enjoy leisure activities, and otherwise go about your day. If you’ve suffered total blindness as a result of someone else’s actions, your loss is even more profound, and you deserve both compensation and justice.

What Causes Eye Injury?
