Electrocution Injuries
Electrical Accidents and the Injuries They Cause
Even before Benjamin Franklin flew his kite during an electrical storm, people knew and respected the tremendous power of electricity. Even with our understanding of electricity and regulations to protect people from its harmful effects, electrical accidents and injuries continue to occur.
A Serious Problem for Workers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 212 American workers were killed from contact with electricity during 2007. Thousands more were seriously injured. If you or a member of your family suffered an electrical burn or other injury due to the negligence of another, please contact the attorneys of Gary Martin Hays & Associates.
Electrical injuries occur when a person makes contact with a live source of electricity either directly or through an object that conducts electricity. One of the most common types of accidents involves overhead power lines. When a ladder, crane, bucket truck or other object comes into contact with a power line, the consequences can be devastating.
Our lawyers represent clients who have suffered on-the-job electrical injuries, helping them obtain workers' compensation benefits and compensation from other sources when the negligence of someone other than the employer is involved.
Electrical Accidents Outside of Work
We also represent people who were injured in electrical accidents outside of the workplace. Did the power company's failure to repair a downed or damaged line cause your injury? Did a defect in a toaster, hair dryer, power tool or other electric appliance result in an injury?
If so, you can rely on the attorneys of Gary Martin Hays & Associates to help you recover full compensation for the damages you have suffered, including pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages or income, rehabilitation, permanent disability or disfigurement. We also represent survivors of those who died a wrongful death in an electrical accident.
