Eye Damage, Impaired Vision and Blindness are Devastating Workplace Injuries-We Can Help

When workers suffer eye damage as a result of a workplace accident, their lives can change in an instant. The workers' compensation system is designed to help injured workers, but navigating the claims process can be difficult. The Law Offices of Deborah G. Kohl has been helping injured workers for decades.

Many Rhode Island and Massachusetts jobs expose workers to the risk of eye problems, even vision loss, often due to lack of eye protection. In construction accidents and industrial and machine accidents, workers who suffer eye injuries often weren't wearing goggles due to inadequate safety training and lack of protective gear in the workplace. When a worker's eyes were hurt in a job accident the eye injury is eligible to be covered by a Workers' Compensation benefits claim. And yet many workplace eye damage victims have their job injury claim denied. Work Comp insurance adjusters often downplay injuries on the job, telling employees it's nothing major or that the pain and impaired vision was caused by something outside of work. If you're being given the Work Comp run-around, call us today so we can fight for your rights!

Our workers' compensation attorneys know the ways that employers and insurance companies try to limit or deny your benefits. We can help you fight back by building a strong case and providing aggressive representation at every step of the appeals process. Our goal is to get you the full amount of compensation you deserve.
