I was electrocuted at work, now what?
The first thing that you need to do is seek medical attention. Even if you feel like you are fine, you could have internal injuries. You don’t want complications from your electrocution accident, so you should be evaluated. Next, you need to speak to someone at your job about the electrocution. You have 30 days to talk to someone about your accident, and this can be a casual conversation. To be able to file for workers’ compensation, it must be documented that you have talked about your electrocution accident.
Once you have reported your accident, you might find yourself on the phone with company attorneys or insurance representatives. It would help if you talked to a lawyer before you speak to anyone else. Most people don’t realize that these insurance calls are recorded, and what you say on the phone might jeopardize your case. Always seek the advice of a trusted electrocution attorney before moving forward with your case.

My work is cooperating, do I need my own attorney?
Yes. Workers’ compensation cases can be tricky, and you’ll be on your own. Even though it seems like your company cares about your needs, they will look out for their own best interests. Your company is trying to run a business. So, settling for the lowest settlement possible is their mission. Since you’re not sure what you should be entitled to, you might accept these offers. Hiring a workers compensation attorney will ensure that this doesn’t happen. You will have someone on your side, that can help you throughout the process of your case.
What compensation am I eligible to receive in my claim?
The first question on many victim’s minds is how they will afford their injuries. Since most electrocution injuries are extensive, it’s possible that you’ll be out of work to recover. So, you will need a settlement that is large enough to cover your injuries and expenses. Some of the compensation we seek can include:
- Medical Bills
- In-home Care
- Loss of Wages
- Loss of Earning Potential
- Emotional Stress
- Funeral Costs
- Burial Costs, and more.
The type and amount of compensation depends on your case. Everyone is different, so we can’t give an estimate until we speak with you. If you are concerned with receiving compensation, contact us today.
What injuries are associated with electrocution?
The type and severity of your injuries from electrocution will depend on several factors. Your injuries can vastly change with: the amount of time electricity flows through your body, the current and the voltage of the electricity, and your overall health. Some of the most common injuries are:
- Burns
- Organ Damage
- Chronic Pain
- Nerve Damage
- Cardiac Arrest
- Muscle, Tissue, and Nerve Damage

You have the right to be safe in your workplace, so everything should meet OSHA regulations.
