Electrocution can cause serious burns, nerve damage, muscle damage, blindness, and other injuries. In severe cases, it can cause the heart to stop, resulting in death.

Negligence and Electric Shock

Working with and around electricity is sometimes an unavoidable part of construction. The dangers of this are well known, which is why there are regulations and guidelines in place to ensure that workers are not at undue risk for injury. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the State of New York specify safety protocols for working with electricity and for general jobsite safety. If these are not followed, an electric shock injury could result.

If the negligence of an individual or group responsible for the safety of a jobsite leads to injury, the accident lawyers at the New York City law firm of Block O’Toole & Murphy can help a victim file a construction accident lawsuit. Compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and damages for loved ones (in the case of a wrongful death) may be recovered through legal action.
