An electrical accident can cause a range of injuries. Electric shock injuries can include:

Any of these injuries can result in permanent disability. You may be unable to return to your job or do any type of work. In the worst cases, the victim may die from electrocution.
The serious nature of electrical accidents and injuries means that victims will need significant medical care. We will seek compensation for your medical bills as well as your lost wages and benefits, and pain and suffering.
