Electrocution Injuries

Electrical shock can cause serious harm to both the outside and inside of the body. Common injuries include deep burns, heart rhythm problems, muscle and nerve damage, seizures, memory loss, and permanent disability. Some effects are not immediately visible, which is why immediate medical attention is so important, even if the victim feels fine at first.

Yes. If you were injured on the job, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits through your employer. In addition, you may also be able to file a separate personal injury claim if a third party, such as a contractor, subcontractor, landlord, or equipment manufacturer, was responsible for the hazard. These third-party claims often result in much higher compensation.

If a loved one died as a result of an electrocution accident, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim. This type of lawsuit can help cover funeral expenses, lost income your family depended on, and the emotional toll of your loss. Our attorneys can guide you through this process with compassion and care.

Call 911 or seek emergency medical care right away, even if the injury seems mild. If it’s safe to do so, take photos of the scene, keep any involved tools or equipment, and write down the names of any witnesses. Do not speak with insurance companies until you’ve spoken with an attorney.

You may not know who caused the danger, and that’s okay. Our job is to investigate. We gather evidence from the scene, review safety records, consult with experts, and identify all individuals or companies who contributed to the unsafe condition. Holding the right people accountable is a critical part of every case we handle.

In Delaware, the deadline to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim is typically two years from the date of the incident. However, time limits vary in other states and can depend on the facts of your case. Speaking with a lawyer early helps ensure your rights are protected and evidence is preserved.

There are no upfront costs to work with us. We handle electrocution injury cases on a contingency basis, which means you only pay if we recover compensation for you. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.

Every case is different. Some claims settle within a few months, while others (especially those involving serious injuries or multiple defendants) can take a year or more. Our team keeps you informed every step of the way and works efficiently to move your case forward without compromising its value.
