Vision Loss
Vision loss may be caused by long-term overexposure to light. It may be also caused by an accident leaving a victim, scarred, blinded, or suffering from facial disfigurement.

Hearing Loss
Job-related hearing loss is not uncommon and may be caused by long-term exposure to loud noises for a number of years. It may be also caused by a sudden incident such as a gun-shot or explosion.

Medical documentation for your vision or hearing loss
As with most workers’ compensation benefits claims, your benefits will depend on a doctor’s opinion regarding the cause and severity of your injury. Our attorneys will work with you to obtain the medical treatment and advice you need. We will work with doctors to clarify their opinion and make sure that the severity of your condition is medically documented. Our lawyers have spoken with local doctor’s groups regarding how to handle such cases and can help you get an accurate report for your records.
