1
00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:02.666
There are multiple

2
00:00:02.666 --> 00:00:03.958
causes of vision loss,

3
00:00:05.291 --> 00:00:07.583
trauma, work injuries,

4
00:00:07.916 --> 00:00:08.750
chemical exposure.

5
00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:10.375
At McCutcheon and Hamner,

6
00:00:10.375 --> 00:00:11.333
we've handled all of

7
00:00:11.333 --> 00:00:12.333
these for our clients.

8
00:00:13.375 --> 00:00:14.083
One of the most common

9
00:00:14.083 --> 00:00:14.833
that we see

10
00:00:14.833 --> 00:00:15.833
is where a person is

11
00:00:15.833 --> 00:00:16.500
on the job

12
00:00:17.041 --> 00:00:18.125
and they have a

13
00:00:18.125 --> 00:00:18.958
chemical exposure

14
00:00:19.125 --> 00:00:20.083
that results in damage

15
00:00:20.083 --> 00:00:20.708
to the eye,

16
00:00:20.708 --> 00:00:21.916
such as a burned

17
00:00:21.916 --> 00:00:23.541
cornea or a lens.

18
00:00:24.375 --> 00:00:25.166
When that happens,

19
00:00:25.166 --> 00:00:25.833
that person is

20
00:00:25.833 --> 00:00:26.750
entitled to workers'

21
00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:27.250
compensation

22
00:00:27.458 --> 00:00:28.125
for that case.

23
00:00:29.083 --> 00:00:29.333
The other

24
00:00:29.333 --> 00:00:30.125
one that we see

25
00:00:30.291 --> 00:00:31.333
is where in a car

26
00:00:31.333 --> 00:00:32.750
wreck or truck wreck

27
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:33.666
where a person may

28
00:00:33.666 --> 00:00:34.375
have suffered a

29
00:00:34.375 --> 00:00:35.666
traumatic brain injury

30
00:00:36.166 --> 00:00:36.708
that results

31
00:00:36.708 --> 00:00:37.625
in vision loss,

32
00:00:38.083 --> 00:00:39.250
or where we have seen

33
00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:40.541
a severing of a

34
00:00:40.541 --> 00:00:41.708
noxipital nerve.

35
00:00:42.291 --> 00:00:42.750
The trauma

36
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:43.875
is so severe

37
00:00:44.375 --> 00:00:45.125
that the person

38
00:00:45.125 --> 00:00:46.916
actually loses vision

39
00:00:47.166 --> 00:00:48.000
when the nerve that

40
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.000
goes from the eye

41
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:49.583
to the brain

42
00:00:49.583 --> 00:00:50.208
is severed.

43
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.416
If your loved one has

44
00:00:52.416 --> 00:00:52.916
been injured

45
00:00:53.125 --> 00:00:53.625
and suffered

46
00:00:53.625 --> 00:00:54.333
vision loss

47
00:00:54.333 --> 00:00:55.458
due to trauma or an

48
00:00:55.458 --> 00:00:56.208
on-the-job injury,

49
00:00:56.625 --> 00:00:57.416
give us a call.

50
00:00:57.666 --> 00:00:58.250
We can help.
