We Will Review How Your Vision or Hearing was Damaged
When our personal injury team represents you, we start by patiently listening to how your injury occurred. Then, we use the details you provide as the starting point for our investigation - determining the cause of your injuries will, in most cases, lead us to the identity of the at-fault party. Here are some potential causes of visual and hearing damage that we could build a personal injury case around:- Major car accidents, when severe enough, can cause a traumatic brain injury (TBI). According to Mayo Clinic, a TBI could cause blurred vision, ringing in your ears, and cranial nerve damage that leads to vision loss, double vision, or visual blind spots.
- Minor car accidents, including those where airbags deploy, can damage your vision and hearing due to sudden jolts and flying glass and debris.
- Injuries sustained at work, as those working in the building trades can be especially vulnerable to, could lead to vision and hearing damage - particularly in jobs that require hearing and vision protection. Tragically, construction accidents pose the risk of such terrible injuries.
- Medical malpractice, including failure to diagnose, medical and surgical errors and mishaps, and birth injuries can be the source of hearing and vision loss.
Determining the Costs of Treating Your Injuries
Depending on their severity, treating your vision and hearing loss could be ongoing and costly. For example, your treatment plan could include the following types of damages:- Past and future medical bills, including treatment by optometrists, audiologists, and other health care specialists
- Assistive medical devices, including hearing aids and other tools that enhance your ability to care for yourself independently
- Past and future losses of income, including any future loss of earning capacity due to your injuries
The Value of Your Injury-Related Damages
In addition to the economic damages that we recover for your short- and long-term treatment, we will also request compensation for additional costs you face. Your injury-related recoverable damages could include:- Lasting physical disabilities, disfiguring injuries, and permanent scarring
- Ongoing physical pain and suffering, as well as emotional distress from living and coping with your injuries
Filing Your Potential Lawsuit on Time
When you file a civil lawsuit in New York, the state law dictates how much time you have to do so. Depending on the cause of your injuries, these statutory filing deadlines might apply to your case:- New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 - the state’s personal injury statute of limitations
- New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214-A - the state’s medical malpractice statute of limitations
