Eye and ophthalmic compensation negligence claims solicitors

Eye damage can be life changing

Opticians, GPs, ophthalmologists and ophthalmic surgeons can make mistakes during NHS or private treatment which lead to reduced vision, visual impairment or blindness. This can be life changing. Our medical negligence solicitors can help you find out what went wrong and make a claim for compensation.

Support at every step

We will listen sympathetically to your case and explain in simple terms whether you have the chance of a successful claim and what to do next. If you do go ahead with a claim, we will support you at every step.

Get your life back on track

Compensation can help you get your life back on track by covering loss of income, transport assistance, care and support at home, house adaptation, walking aids and technology aids. It can also help you find out who was responsible for the errors and help stop them happening to someone else.

We could not fault the service provided by the whole team at Tees. Responsive, supportive and extremely professional throughout. The success in the case and the justice achieved was what we wanted.
