Eye Injury Settlement Amounts (Vision Loss Claims)

Eye injuries can range from minor corneal abrasions to permanent vision loss or blindness. Because vision is essential to virtually every aspect of daily life, eye injury settlements tend to be substantial, particularly when there is permanent vision impairment.

Average Settlement Amounts

Corneal abrasion with full recovery settles for $10,000 to $30,000. Orbital fracture settles for $30,000 to $150,000. Retinal detachment settles for $50,000 to $250,000. Partial vision loss settles for $100,000 to $500,000. Complete vision loss in one eye settles for $250,000 to $1,000,000. Complete blindness settles for $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 or more.

Impact on Settlement Value

Vision loss dramatically affects quality of life, ability to work, and independence. The settlement must account for future medical care, assistive devices, vocational rehabilitation, and the profound impact on daily living.

Conclusion

Eye injury settlements range from $10,000 for minor injuries to $5,000,000 or more for complete blindness.
