Eye Injuries From Flying Debris

Construction workers are uniquely susceptible to eye injuries because of their working conditions and tasks. Workers are constantly sawing, hammering and moving objects that can cause particles to project into the air. Many construction projects produce flying debris like wood, plastic, metal slivers, paint chips, concrete particles and nails. This flying debris can seriously injure their eyes or even cause permanent loss of sight. Eye injuries can have serious complications, and the debris can cause dangerous infections.

It is difficult to think of anything more physically painful than an eye injury. Eyes are extremely sensitive organs even to the smallest foreign object and are vital when it comes to functioning through day to day life. Having an eye injury can be annoying, restraining and even debilitating depending on the extent of the injury. Eye injuries can also be painful financially as they require a great deal of medical treatment. Medical bills for an eye injury can be unsettling, especially if the injury prevents you from returning back to work.

Prevention

The simplest and easiest way to prevent eye injuries from debris is to always wear protective goggles. Being aware of one’s surrounding and being properly trained for the equipment in use can also help prevent unnecessary and unwanted eye injuries. Unfortunately, however, these accidents are often the result of someone else’s negligence. In this case, it may be in your best interest to contact a personal injury attorney to represent you and guide you in the direction toward financial compensation. An attorney with experience in personal injury law can provide valuable legal counsel and address any questions or concerns you may have regarding the case.

What to do if injured:

If you have suffered an eye injury because of flying debris, the first thing you should do is seek immediate medical treatment. After treatment, it is also important to speak with a lawyer who knows the specifics of construction site injury law and can investigate every aspect of your case, including whether there are personal injury or workers’ compensation claims. A lawyer who specializes in personal injury can better help you become successful with your case. Talking with a lawyer can help to give you peace of mind and to understand your rights and options.
