A Philadelphia Eye Injury Attorney Talks About Eye Injuries

It is the "vision thing". No, I'm not referring to George HW Bush. I'm talking about vision loss and rights. I recently dealt with a piece of litigation involving a woman who suffered a permanent injury to the eyes after he hit by a car. She was left blind in the eye, even though they "light perception" retained, ie the ability to recognize the source of light over the eye. Everything else is just an extreme blur.

This unfortunate elderly womanhas a very bad decision. She decided to busy City Avenue in Philadelphia, as well as cross-ahead for vehicle traffic was green. Although she was struck at low speed, had the force of the collision her flop on the road first with the face.

Crucial to the case was the manner in which I was prepared to show the jury how much this woman's life was changed by the accident.

It was important that I tried every defense to refute the loss of vision in one minimizeEye. I assumed from the fact that the defense attorney pointed out that some jet pilots could fly with only one good eye. People from all walks of life are able to live a normal life, even though they live legally blind in one eye.

Crucial to the present case was the manner in which I was prepared to show the jury how much this woman's life was changed by the accident.

I have two new techniques to put the jurors in the shoes of this woman to literally through theirEyes. I retained an expert in vision loss from Pennsylvania College of Optometry in glasses that simulated vision impairment my client trades. Wrap with a simple pair of goggles and some plastic, we were able to motivate the insurance company, the case for what I believe to be decided, at fair value. The fear of a big jury verdict is the strongest motivation when it comes to insurance.

Imagine the jurorsGlasses and trying to maneuver through the court to touchdown. The glasses create a shock effect on the carrier. The first reaction is dizziness. Once the institution regained her composure, she is faced with the task of moving through open doors, stairs down, up ramps, etc. Simple tasks of daily life take on new complexity that when you lose depth perception and full field of view. Try closing one eye. Notice how your depth perception will disappear immediately.

I also had an expertproduce photos, seeing the simulated blurred by the customer and the loss of peripheral vision. This evidence was very important to convince them to regulate the insurance on the case.
