Hartford Construction Accident Lawyer: Electrocutions

A Hartford Personal Injury Attorney Can Help With Your Electrocution Claims

Electricity is a powerful source of energy that can cause serious injury if not handled properly and with care. Electrocution accidents can occur if a utility pole is not maintained, rots and collapses. They can also occur if a worker cuts through underground cables with a crane or jackhammer, if a bucket-truck is insufficiently insulated for working with live power cables, if a cable is handled while thought to be dead, and if poor temporary wiring creates electricity in puddles or other masses of water. Electrocution accidents usually result from negligence on a construction site, lack of upkeep and maintenance of utility poles and power lines, inadequate training for workers and disregard for safety rules and regulations.

Electrocution Injuries

When an individual is electrocuted, the electricity courses through the body, burning and damaging tissue, and contracting the muscles, which can lead to cardiac arrest. Recovery can be lengthy and very painful, depending on the severity of the burn. It can finally lead to a wrongful death.
