Electrocution accidents happen in the home, but did you know that electrocution accidents are actually the second-highest cause of death for workers in the construction industry? When a worker’s tool or body touches a live electrical wire, devastating and even deadly injury can occur – and the consequences can extend far beyond the individual’s physical pain.
Electrocution accidents can occur anywhere on a construction site and often happen when a vehicle hits power lines or an individual hits an underground power line. Unfortunately, those involved can be hurt in a sort of chain reaction in which the individual is hurt helping another person. The high number of temporary laborers and fly-by-night contractors in the industry often spells out danger for workers, who can face dangerous work sites and uneducated coworkers. And negligent individuals often fail to care for others on their job sites, creating a dangerous situation for all involved.
The consequences of an electrocution can be dangerous and even fatal, with deep burns, heart failure, and neurological effects. Depending on the current and the area of electrocution, an individual’s entire body may be affected. Electrocution is not always easy to be treated and in the worst cases can lead to a tragic, unnecessary death. For those that are fortunate enough to survive a serious electric shock injury, the consequences of electrocution can be lifelong. Another person’s negligent behavior might cause an individual to suffer lifelong medical and psychological disabilities, including limited ability to work or complete inability to work based upon the electrocution injury.
Though individuals can file a personal injury lawsuit against the general contractor, other subcontractors, suppliers of faulty equipment, or other parties responsible for their electrocution injury, the electrocution injury victim is usually best off seeking compensation with the help of an lawyer experienced in personal injury in Arizona, a lawyer who understands the system thoroughly and has a track record of success.
