Despite advances in safety and technologies, individuals electrocuted at work, including fatal injuries, continues to increase. Electrocution can happen in the home, whether because an electrical product malfunctions, faulty wiring, or failed fuse systems.

Electrocutions most commonly result in severe burns. Burns suffered in electrical accidents are usually of three kinds:

• Electrical Burn:  result from electric current flowing through tissues (e.g. muscles and organs) or bone.  The type and voltage of the circuit, the pathway through the body, the duration and the resistance of the body will determine the severity of damage.

• Arc Burn or Flash Burn - also known as shock-related burn. These burns are the result of high temperatures close to the body and are produced by an electric arc or explosion.

• Thermal Contact Burns: These kinds of burns normally occur when the skin comes in contact with hot surfaces of overheated electric conductors, conduits, or other energized equipment.  Additionally, clothing may be ignited in an electrical accident and a thermal burn will result.

Electrocution injuries can occur in various settings, including some of the following:

• Electrical Injuries from faulty wiring, electrical outlets, overloaded circuits
• workplace electrocution
• Construction Sites
• Personal computers
• electrical junction box, where voltage improperly controlled     defective or malfunctioning circuit breakers or fuses
• lack of proper safety equipment, including insulated gloves and face shield
• defective or malfunctioning safety equipment, including insulated gloves and face shield
• unguarded or defective lamp or light switches
• electric blankets
• cable
• electrical products

Electrocution, burns, and other electrical injuries are, sadly, often catastrophic, resulting in severe, permanent, debilitating injuries or even death. The physical, emotional, and financial toll such injuries cause to victims and their families are enormous.

How to pay for the extensive medical, hospital, therapy, and rehabilitation costs -which should be the best available instead of the bare minimum - is a constant struggle, possibly sending victims and their families into financial ruin.

Our goal is to return as much normalcy as possible to the client’s life, and the family’s life, as well as trying to restore some financial certainty so the client and the family do not have to move forward alone. While we know that we cannot restore what has been lost - we can fight as hard as we can in our justice system to hold the negligent parties accountable -- and try to achieve some measure of justice, including financial security.

If you or your loved one has suffered a permanent, devastating, burn injury or death, then please contact our injury attorneys to seek justice on your behalf.
