Electrocution or Electrical Injuries And The Various Causes of Electrocution

Electrical injuries and accidents happen suddenly and without warning. Simple contact with an exposed wire or ungrounded circuits can lead to very serious injury and wrongful death.

Electrocution injuries caused by electric shocks are sometimes the result of dangerous or defective products and sometimes the result of negligent conduct. It is important that an early investigation take place after an electrical injury or electrocution, because the cause of the accident determined early on before critical evidence disappears or is altered.

Every year in the United States almost 1000 people are killed by contact with an electrical source resulting their electrocution. Additionally, over 3000 people a year in the US suffer very serious burns.

Construction sites are a significant source of electrocution wrongful death claims through either a failure of the contractor or employer to follow OSHA safety regulations or a dangerous and effective product and sometimes a combination of the two.
