Electrocution
Electrical accidents are one of the greatest dangers an industrial worker faces. Even a small electrical current can cause electrocution — an electric shock that causes death — but most New York City construction workers work near sources of electrical currents strong enough to cause fibrillation and cardiac arrest.
Our New York Accident Lawyers Can Help
At Eisenberg & Baum, we have experience helping construction workers who suffer electrical injuries. We understand that the harm caused by electricity is often severe, making it crucial to obtain the maximum amount of compensation recoverable under New York law.
Electric shocks often cause significant injuries, including:
- Severe burns, both internal and external
- Ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest
- Neurological damage causing cognitive and memory problems, including neuropathy
- Death via electrocution
Personal injury lawsuits involving electrical accidents can be particularly challenging, as the victim often dies or experiences memory loss. At Eisenberg & Baum, our New York construction accident attorneys have the resources to conduct a detailed investigation into the cause of electrical shock at a New York construction site. We are committed to getting you answers and using the evidence to get your family the compensation it deserves.
