CAN RETINAL DETACHMENT BE CAUSED BY A CAR ACCIDENT?

SUV Upside down A severe automobile accident can have long-term negative effects on a person that can take years to overcome. A car accident can put a strain on a number of internal organs, resulting in pain, bleeding, and long-term disability. A break or tear in the retina can occur if an accident victim’s head collides with a forceful object, such as a window, steering wheel, or windshield. If left untreated, this tear can cause a retinal detachment, which can result in permanent damage to one or both eyes and, in extreme cases, blindness.

The emotional, physical and financial challenges that a person can face as a result of lost or diminished vision cannot be overstated. A loss of vision can have an impact on many aspects of daily life, including the ability to drive, read a book, go to work, and maintain general independence. Medical bills for treating an eye injury caused by a car accident can be quite high. When accident victims are unable to work due to their injuries, the situation can quickly deteriorate; however, with the assistance of a top personal injury lawyer in Dallas, you may be able to recover significant compensation.

WHAT IS A DETACHED RETINA?

The retina is made up of light-sensitive thin tissue layers. The retina, as an important component of the eye, plays an important role in vision. The retina is made up of billions of unique cells that are designed to send endless nerve messages to the optic nerve, which is then forwarded to the brain, where images are produced. A severe blow, medical error, or other condition can result in a serious eye disorder in which the retina peels away from the supporting tissue, often resulting in significant vision loss or blindness.

Retina Diagram The macula is located in the center of the retina of the eye. The nerve activity at this location aids in maintaining a sharp image by keeping the vision in focus. When the macula is injured or the blood supply is disrupted, it can result in dramatic maculopathy, which causes significant vision loss. Maculopathy is typically caused by direct trauma to the eye or face. It can result in serious eye injuries such as the formation of small holes, tears, or rips that lead to retinal detachment.

When “flashers” and “floaters” appear suddenly, victims of early-stage retinal detachment frequently have significant warning signs. Early signs of retinal detachment include a brief flash of light, blurred vision, peripheral vision darkening, and a sensation of eye heaviness. Many of the common symptoms and signs of retinal detachment, however, do not appear right away.

When a condition is first diagnosed, it usually necessitates immediate medical treatment, which necessitates the skills of a skilled eye doctor to perform surgical procedures. If the condition is not treated as a medical emergency, the patient may lose functional vision in the eye if the macula detaches from the retina.

Very efficient staff. I am VERY pleased with this firm. Gina W.

Very professional job handling my accident claim. I had some ER bills, and some visits to my ortho after (and various other bills that kept coming in). I was afraid I was going to get stuck owing money, but Doug Goyen took care of the case and had everything paid, including compensating me for the injury. Great lawyer IMO. I felt like my case was taken care of very well. Thx!! Bernard M.

Doug is a great attorney. He took care of my auto accident claim promptly, and answered any questions I had. I also had one of my hospital bills go into collections for non-payment. I was able to contact Doug a year after the accident, and received a copy of the check the hospital claimed they didn’t receive. I highly recommend this guy. David J.

The Law Office of Doug Goyen helped me recovery every bit I was owed on my claim. Very happy I used them. They knew what they were doing, and kept me informed. I felt taken care of the whole way. You wont go wrong using them. Arthur H.

Mr. Goyen helped me take on my own insurance company, the great and mighty Allstate. My prior firm basically dumped me, with a permanent injury because the case didn’t meet their financial guidelines for a settlement. I was a bicycle rider hit by a car driver at an intersection, and Allstate was the company on BOTH SIDES OF THE CLAIM. My own insurance company tried to throw me under the bus to limit their payout! Without Mr. Goyen’s help, I would have been left with NOTHING! I had thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills, unable to receive treatment to correct the issue. He was unafraid and helped me get the best settlement I could … I am tremendously thankful! Pamala M.
