Types of Electrocution Injuries We Represent

Exposure to high voltage electricity can be fatal. However, even being exposed to a lower voltage can cause severe injuries. Toddlers and adolescents are at the greatest risk of electric shock injuries in the U.S. However, construction site workers are also at particular risk of electrocution because of the machinery they use and other hazardous conditions in their working environment. Employers must provide adequate safety training and equipment to help prevent an electric shock accident.

Injuries from electric shocks include:

The higher the voltage, the more serious the injuries will be. Furthermore, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and central nervous system damage could result in death. Victims who survive may suffer emotional and psychological problems, such as depression or anxiety, as well as changes in personality and temperament.

Understanding Liability in Electrocution Accidents

There may be several factors that cause electrocution injuries at a construction site. Malfunctioning machinery, exposed power lines, defective equipment, and faulty electric wiring could all cause serious harm to construction workers. If you did not receive adequate training, or your employer failed to fix a hazardous condition, you may be able to pursue compensation for your injuries. In addition, manufacturing companies could be held responsible for your electric shock injuries if a defective machine caused the accident.

Depending on the situation, you may be able to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain andsuffering, and other economic and non-economic damages. While you have the option of seeking a settlement through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, you may be able to file a third-party liability claim if someone unrelated to your work caused the accident. An investigation will be necessary to determine who is responsible for your injuries. Our team at The Matiasic Firm will use evidence such as police reports, pictures of the scene, and witness statements to build your case.

“They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

“Paul Matiasic represented me in an accident case where I almost got ripped off by the insurance company. The case took a little longer, but Paul and his team (Justin White) never gave up on me. They called/email every week to make sure I was feeling okay and gave me the status of the case. I felt at ease dealing with them. They are very human and care about their clients more than the money. They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

Paul Matiasic is a superb personal injury attorney!

“Paul handled a case for me about eighteen months ago. It took a year to bring the recalcitrant insurance company to the table. Once there Paul was inspiring beyond his years. Strongest negotiator I have ever seen. A real treat to watch him in action. I found Paul to be prompt at returning phone calls, honest, fair and of the highest character. I would recommend him with no reservations.”

We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture.

“If it were not for Paul stepping to help with our case, we feel that it would not have been resolved as quickly and as efficiently as it was handled. We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture. Thank you, Paul!”

You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!

“If you find yourself in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend The Matiasic Firm. This was a first for me and I will always remember the experience of working with Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson in pursuing our wrongful death claim. I was turned down several times and then was referred to this firm. After presenting Paul and Scott with the facts as I saw them, they took on my case. The two attorneys as well as their staff was professional and tentative it felt as if I was their only client. We started the case in 2015 and I was advised from day one how difficult it would be but I was kept informed along the way. Any time I had a question or needed clarification Paul or Scott was there. In 2017, a settlement was reached. I just can't say enough of how pleased I was to have been their client. I will recommend Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson to anyone in need of legal service. You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!”

“Paul Matiasic was amazing and got me a settlement that satisfied me!”

“I found Mr. Matiasic online and he was the only one of three other lawyers who responded wanting more info. The others did not want to persue the case, thinking it hard to prove. Mr. Matiasic was the only one who asked to meet with me personally to discuss the case and it was only with Mr. Matiasic asking questions and explaining to me the what we needed to prove, that I was able to give him the solid information (photos) that resulted in a successful settlement. He worked with and for me from the initial contact in May 2007 until the settlement in Dec 2007, keeping me appraised at every step of the negotiations. I was more than pleased with the result.”
