Recovery for an eye injury can happen without hospital intervention but more severe eye injuries can result in surgery, corrective lenses, or complete vision loss. You shouldn’t have to pay for an eye injury that resulted from someone else’s actions. A Seattle eye injury attorney can help.
A Seattle eye injury lawyer from The Fang Law Firm can help you file a personal injury lawsuit in Washington state court against the at-fault party. You can file a negligence lawsuit or a medical malpractice lawsuit to recover damages related to your injury.
In order to prevail under a negligence lawsuit, you and your eye injury attorney will need to prove that the at-fault party’s actions were careless and resulted in your injury.
If your eye injury resulted because of the negligence of a medical professional, you can bring a medical malpractice lawsuit. You and your attorney will need to prove that the medical professional violated a duty of care, and that violation resulted in your injury.
In the event that you and your attorney are successful at trial, the jury can award you economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are quantitative damages related to your injury such as medical bills, rehabilitation bills, and lost wages. Non-economic damages are damages for pain and suffering resulting from your eye injury.
Once a jury has handed down a damage award, the at-fault party is obligated to pay you.
