Electrocution Accident Attorneys in Los Angeles

Given the huge amount of construction in this country, the dangers of construction site accidents are becoming known. Electrocution accidents are a danger at many sites where exposed wires, work with power sources, and complicated equipment are the norm. Here’s what you need to know about electrocution accidents and your rights:

Statistics show that around an average of around 400 people die of electrocution accidents each year. However, these statistics do not take into account the thousands of workers whose health and lives are impacted by non-fatal electrocution injuries while on the job. Depending on the frequency and length of the shock, a victim can experience damage to the heart and lungs, neuropathy (a condition in which nerve function is impaired), chronic pain, disfigurement and burns, and even psychological effects.

Though the construction industry is highly regulated, unscrupulous employers often neglect their duty to protect all employees on the job and allow them to work in unsafe environments or perform job duties without appropriate safety equipment or training. Ultimately, this neglect can lead to injury and even death – and electrocution accidents in California that can be linked to a negligent party can be prosecuted in civil court, with the victim suing for damages related to medical treatment, inability to work, psychiatric treatment, pain and suffering, and vocational rehabilitation. Negligent employers deserve to pay for their neglect – both for the sake of the injured worker and for the safety of current and future employees.
