Types of Cases Our New Jersey Blindness & Vision Loss Malpractice Lawyers Can Help You With

At Team Law, our New Jersey blindness & vision loss malpractice lawyers can help you pursue financial compensation and justice when you’ve been harmed by:

Medication errors — Some eye conditions are treated through medications.. Doctors may make mistakes in prescribing medications, such as dosing errors or prescribing medication contraindicated for a patient or not prescribing medications quickly enough (some conditions must be treated within a certain number of hours in order to prevent irreversible damage).
Negligence during eye procedures — Some eye procedures, such as cataract surgery, require a great deal of care and skill due to the hazards involved with the equipment and the use of anesthesia.
Surgical errors — Some eye conditions require surgical treatment. Avoidable errors during surgery can cause physical damage to the eye structures that may result in vision problems or loss or other medical complications.
Misdiagnosis — When doctors and other medical personnel fail to timely diagnose an eye condition such as glaucoma or a herpes zoster infection, it can lead to an avoidable worsening of a patient’s condition, which may result in a patient requiring more intensive treatment or losing the opportunity for any effective treatment. Misdiagnosis may occur due to the failure to order diagnostic treatment, erroneous interpretation of test results, or failure to consult with other medical specialists.

What Can You Recover in a Blindness & Vision Loss Malpractice Suit?

If medical malpractice has caused you to suffer vision loss or blindness, you may be entitled to recover compensation for expenses and losses such as:

Costs of medical treatment, including surgeries or other medical procedures or prescription medication
Lost wages or income from missed work while treating vision problems caused by malpractice
Lost earning capacity, if blindness or vision loss renders you unable to return to work
Physical pain and emotional distress
Loss of quality of life due to disability caused by blindness or vision loss

Team Law’s client fell and dislocated her knee, causing an injury to the popliteal artery that ultimately resulted in the amputation of her leg. Suit was filed against the hospital to which she had been taken by ambulance, the emergency room doctor, a radiologist and an orthopedic surgeon. The orthopedic surgeon claimed he was inordinately delayed getting to the hospital because of traffic problems on the Garden State Parkway. Team Law was able to counter the surgeon’s testimony by obtaining records from the Garden State Parkway that showed no traffic problems and by obtaining the surgeon’s EZ Pass records. The claim against the emergency room doctor was that he should have asked for vascular consultation when he detected a weak pulse in the foot, not just an orthopedic consult. The claim against the radiologist was that his actions also delayed treatment. After a seven week trial, a verdict was entered in favor of Team Law’s client and against all four of those defendants.

Frequently Asked Questions about Blindness & Vision Loss Malpractice in New Jersey

FAQ: How long do I have to file a lawsuit for blindness and vision loss malpractice?

Under New Jersey’s statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims, you typically have two years from the date that you received the negligent medical treatment to file a lawsuit to pursue compensation from the at-fault provider. However, if you received the treatment from a doctor employed by an agency of the State of New Jersey such as UMDNJ or Rutgers Medical School, you only have 90 days to file a notice of claim. Sometimes, the two-year limitations period might not begin until you discover that you have been injured (namely, that you have suffered blindness or vision loss) and that your injury was caused by negligent medical treatment. In any case, if you file a lawsuit after the limitations period has expired on your claim or fail to file a notice of claim against a doctor employed by a state agency, the at-fault parties can file a motion to have your case permanently dismissed from court.

FAQ: How much do New Jersey blindness & vision loss malpractice lawyers cost?

At Team Law, you do not have to pay our New Jersey blindness & vision loss malpractice lawyers unless and until we successfully recover financial compensation for you. That means you have no upfront cost to hiring our firm to help you pursue financial recovery. If we win compensation in your case, we typically are paid a percentage of the total recovery we obtain for you as our fee.
