Minneapolis & St. Paul Personal Injury Attorney
Electrical injuries can occur at any time. They can happen at home, at work, when in a public place, and at a construction site. There are many instances in which these incidents can occur, and sometimes, the consequences can be deadly.
If you or someone you love has been injured or killed due to electric shock, it is important to work with a qualified Minneapolis personal injury lawyer who has the experience and the skill to help you through the matter.
Skilled Electric Shock Representation
An electrical injury occurs when a body part comes into contact with electricity. The human body can feel a minimal amount of electricity. However, one of the most frightening things about an electrical accident is that it can cause so many different types of injuries. When electric shock has been experienced, the following types of injuries can result:
- Painful and permanent thermal burns on the area of the body where contact was made
- Brain damage causing trouble with vision, speech, movement, etc.
- Broken bones
- Nerve and bone failure
- Heart attack
- Soft tissue injury
- Paralysis and other permanent disability
- Muscle tears and strains
Adults tend to know where electricity is dangerous, such as fallen power lines, electrical outlets, and other hazards. However, there are times when adults are met by curious children who do not realize that their surroundings can be dangerous. We have helped clients who have been injured directly, and we have helped those who have children injured in an unsafe electrical situation.
Holding The Responsible Party Accountable.
With the help of a Minnesota personal injury lawyer with experience in this area, we can hold all responsible parties accountable. You could file your claim against the landlord or property owner where the accident occurred, the HOA or condo association, the contractor who did not exercise safety, the electrical company for negligence, the daycare that did not watch the child properly, and many others. We investigate what happened in the accident so compensation can be properly sought. When you can win compensation, you do not have to worry about paying for your medical bills for rehabilitation, and you can have your lost wages and other losses replaced to better focus on healing and not the financials.
