Electrocution and Electrical Contact

The immediate and long-term consequences of electric shock accidents can be devastating. Electrical burns can leave lasting scars, while electrical contact may cause severe nerve or brain damage. Electrocutions at construction sites, in water, on ladders, or at home can be fatal, leaving families devastated and unsure where to turn. While some electrocutions seem like “freak accidents,” many result from negligence. Companies, power providers, or even careless neighbors may be responsible. For this reason, considerable compensation is usually available for the victim and their families through a Florida premises liability, product liability, wrongful death claim, or other insurance claims.
