EYE INJURIES

Eye safety procedures should be followed on job sites to reduce the risk of eye injuries.

Due to the chemicals and hazardous materials present at New York construction sites, it is imperative that proper eye safety procedures are followed by all workers. Protective eyewear should be worn by construction workers at all times and first aid and eye washing stations should be available in the event of contamination. Nails guns, splinters, pieces or metal and wire, dust, grit, and dangerous chemicals all pose a risk of eye injuries. Workers should be aware of these risks and take precautions to minimize the chance of a serious accident.

Depending on the circumstances of the accident, eye injuries can result in blindness, the loss of an eye, and impaired vision. For people who have had normal vision throughout their lives, adjusting to blindness or impaired vision can be a frustrating and lengthy process. Getting financial compensation for an eye injury is important, particularly if the eye injury has resulted in partial or full vision loss.

Have you or a loved one been affected by blindness or loss of vision due to a construction accident injury? You may be eligible to receive compensation that can offset medical bills and lost wages, providing your family with support and stability during this difficult time.
