Electrocution and Electrical Contact

The immediate and long-term consequences of electric shock accidents can be devastating. For example electrical burns can scar a person for life and electrical contact can cause severe nerve damage and even brain damage. Electrocutions at construction sites, in water, on ladders, and in homes can leave families mourning the loss of a loved one–overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn. Although electrocutions can be caused by “freak accidents,” many times the cause of the injury is the result of a company, corporation, local power and light company’s negligence or even the carelessness of a neighbor or fellow citizen. For this reason, there is usually considerable compensation available for the victim and their families through a Florida premises liability, product liability, wrongful death claim or other insurance claims.
