NEGLIGENT SHOOTING OF PAINTBALL GUN RESULTS IN EYE INJURY

Paintball has become a popular recreational activity, with an estimated 10 million participants in the United States alone.  Organizers of formal paintball games typically require eye protection and education, which has reduced the risk of severe eye injuries.  However, severe paintball-related eye injuries are most likely to occur in informal, uncontrolled settings.  Paintballs can cause severe and devastating eye injuries, especially when used in unsupervised settings without proper eye protection.  Rupture of the eyeball and detached retinas are among the injuries seen.  Even when the eye can be saved, many patients suffer permanent visual loss. 

Summary of a Claim

Our client, a teenager, was shot in an eye with a paintball fired by another boy.  The shooting took place after our client and the other participants in an informal paintball game had removed their eye protection, as the game had been concluded.  The shooting occurred at the home of a third boy, whose parents failed to supervise the participating boys or advise them concerning safety.  Our client sustained serious eye injuries which required multiple surgeries and was left with permanent vision loss.  The case was settled for a significant sum prior to trial.

Your Rights

If you or someone you care about has suffered a serious personal injury as a result of the negligence of another, please contact us.  Our experienced personal injury lawyers can discuss your claim with you and inform you of your legal rights.  There is no fee for your initial consultation and we do not collect fees until your claim is paid.
