About Electrocution Accidents

According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OHSA), electrocution accidents are one of the most common types of construction accidents. In fact, electrocution is part of OSHA's Fatal Four, and causes roughly 8% of fatalities on construction sites each year. In addition to electrocution and shock, these accidents can also lead to burn injuries, arc flashes, fires, and explosions that place workers, pedestrians, and nearby residents at risk of suffering harm.

Common hazards that may lead to electrocution accidents on construction sites include:

• Electrical work in progress
• Exposed wiring
• Defective equipment
• Negligent machine operation
• Improper warnings

Because electrocution accidents have a high potential for resulting in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death, victims and families should retain the seasoned representation needed to secure a full recovery of their damages, which may include:

• Medical bills and future treatment costs
• Lost work earnings
• Disability or death benefits
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish
