Shock: It Only Takes a Second for Lifetime of Injury
Workers in a variety of construction industries can face the threat of serious electric shock everyday. Even low level shocks are painful and can cause minor burns and muscle injuries. At high voltage, being electrocuted can result in catastrophic, long-term tissue, muscle and heart damage.
Electrocution Accidents Occur Because of Defective Products or Unsafe Premises
Workers in the construction trades are most vulnerable because they are often at the mercy of other contractors' negligence. An iron worker might lean a tool against a live wire, left unprotected by an electrical worker. A pipe fitter might drill into an unmarked power line. An electrician might suffer a thermal burn because live wire was moved and left exposed.
If you have suffered a serious electrical shock injury, on the job, in a public place or while using a product at home, you are entitled to seek damages for your medical care and financial losses. Laminack, Pirtle & Martines is a prominent personal injury law firm that has helped many victims of negligence protect their rights and obtain compensation.
