What are my legal options if I’m injured in an electrocution accident while on the job?

If you suffer an electrical injury while on the job, your state’s workers’ compensation policy may apply. Under the “exclusive remedy” doctrine, an employee who is receiving workers’ compensation benefits from their direct employer cannot also sue them for negligence. While workers’ comp will cover medical care and lost wages, it does not pay for pain and suffering, or other non-economic losses.

Do I really need an electrocution accident lawyer, or can I hire any personal injury attorney?

Electrocution cases pose unique challenges for injured individuals. First, electrical injuries are often extremely serious, frequently resulting in significant medical expenses and lost wages, permanent injuries, or even death.

When should I hire an electrocution accident lawyer?

You should hire an experienced electrocution accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Utility companies will not waste any time and will aggressively protect themselves against potential liability. Unfortunately, this sometimes includes hiding or misrepresenting evidence. The sooner you hire a lawyer of your own to protect your rights, the better your odds of obtaining fair compensation. 5 of 6

How do I find a well-qualified, experienced electrocution accident lawyer with a proven record of success?

Unfortunately, very few lawyers have extensive experience working with electrocution accident cases. At minimum, you should ask your attorney about whether they’ve handled electrocution cases in the past, and if so, how frequently.
