Electrocution Injury

Electrocution injuries, such as a wrongful death, occur a person’s body comes into contact with an electrical circuit and by doing so gets trapped in a localized electrical arc, for example, an from a faulty electrical appliance. Electrical injury cases we handle include Persons who come into contact with:

• High-Voltage Powerlines;
• Low-Voltage power sources
• Direct current sources like an electrically charged MARTA rail

Exercising safety precautions is the surest way to avoid or minimize an electrical injury. If a family member has died from a wrongful death electrical shock, the negligent party may have to compensate the victim’s family by way of wrongful death damages.

A frequent fact pattern that we see if on construction sites when there is poor communication about whether or not there are live wires that are in contact with a conduit like plumbing pipe. The plumbing crew may come into contact with a pipe that has electricity flowing through it when they are not informed of the risks.

If you have suffered an electric shock, you are certainly not alone. In 2001 alone, there were at least four hundred and eleven deaths as a result of electrocution. These causes of these tragic death were either from dangerous or defective electrical appliances and improper electrical wiring in homes and building. Workplace accidents are also well known causes of electrocutions.
