Electrocution injuries can happen in an instant, but the effects can last a lifetime. High-voltage shocks or even household electrical accidents can cause severe burns, nerve damage, heart complications, and permanent disability. Beyond the physical pain, victims often face long hospital stays, rehabilitation, and changes to daily life, work, and mobility.
At Freeburn Law, our Pennsylvania electrocution injury attorneys help victims and families navigate these challenges. We handle insurance companies, fight for compensation, and give you the support you need to focus on recovery.
Common Causes of Electrocution Injuries
Electrocution accidents can happen in homes, workplaces, or public spaces. Common causes include:
-
Workplace hazards such as exposed wires, malfunctioning equipment, or unsafe construction sites
-
Faulty wiring, broken appliances, or poorly maintained property
-
Storms, downed power lines, or public electrical hazards
Identifying the cause of an injury is important to hold responsible parties accountable. Our team investigates each case thoroughly to build a strong legal claim.
Effects of Electrocution Injuries
The severity of an electrical injury depends on the voltage, how long the shock lasts, and the path electricity takes through the body. Common effects include deep burns, damage to muscles and nerves, heart rhythm problems, dizziness, headaches, and memory or concentration issues.
Electrical shocks can also cause secondary injuries, like falls or collisions, which may result in broken bones or head trauma. Documenting the full impact of the injury is important when pursuing compensation.
Recovering from Electrical Burns
Electrical burns often require extensive care. Victims may need hospital stays, surgeries, skin grafts, and physical therapy. Emotional recovery is also important because trauma from burns can affect confidence, sleep, and daily life. Even after treatment, some people live with permanent scarring, limited movement, or ongoing pain. At Freeburn Law, we ensure all short-term and long-term effects of your injury are included when seeking compensation.
Compensation Available for Electrocution Injuries
Victims may be entitled to recover money for:
-
Medical expenses, surgeries, and ongoing care
-
Lost wages or reduced ability to earn
-
Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
We work with medical and financial specialists to determine the full value of your claim. This includes costs you may face now and in the future as a result of the injury.
Workplace Electrocution Claims in Pennsylvania
Many electrocution injuries happen on the job, especially in construction, industrial, or utility work. These injuries can lead to lost income, permanent disability, and long-term medical needs. Pennsylvania workers may qualify for workers’ compensation, but insurance companies often try to limit payouts. Freeburn Law ensures that all medical costs, lost wages, and rehabilitation needs are included in your claim. If negligence played a role, we also pursue additional legal remedies to hold responsible parties accountable.
