The personal injury electrocution and electrical shock accident injury lawyers at Bisogno & Meyerson, LLP., have decades of experience in handling on-the-job personal injury claims, as well as, workers compensation accident claims, relating to electrocution and electrical shock accident injuries. These accidents can happen to electrical workers, construction workers, and others, who are conducting electrical work and construction workers who come into unintended contact with electrical lines, for example, while doing excavation work and hitting a high power electrical line, or construction contractors who may hit a high power line while cutting into a wall. Any electrical current may cause many types of serious injuries including skin and tissue burns and nervous system damage. Death can also occur as a result of any high-powered electrical shock that carries a current that is sufficient to stop a person’s heart. While Smaller electrical currents may trigger cardiac events such as atrial or ventricular fibrillation (which are generally defined as cardiac rhythm disturbances) in the heart which can be reversible by the use of a cardiac defibrillator if utilized in a timely manner. Larger electrical currents can cause death or permanent injury including nervous system damage, brain and, spinal cord damage, respiratory damage, kidney damage, and cellular and tissue damage from burns, and many more types of severe personal injuries. It should be noted that even in cardiac events caused by lower currents, one can lose consciousness and fall from high elevations, or fall onto objects and debris that can also cause serious injury.
