What to Do Immediately After Your Incident
If you’ve been injured in an electrical shock accident on the job or as a result of someone else’s negligent actions, there are several basic steps you should take in support of your claim and your health:
- Seek immediate medical attention even if you don’t think you were seriously injured. Electrocution injuries are serious, and they are closely associated with internal damage that can hide in plain sight.
- Follow your medical team’s instructions and advice carefully, attend all follow-up visits, and stick to your treatment plan.
- Work closely with a trusted California electrocution attorney every step of the way. It’s the best way to protect your legal rights and navigate the claims process.
- Report the accident to your supervisor if it happened at work or to the responsible party if it happened elsewhere. This report will play an important role in your claim and can help protect others from being injured in similar accidents.
- Remember that the insurance company is interested in their own profits – not in providing you with a fair settlement – and leave the communicating with them to your seasoned attorney. It’s also a good idea – for the same reason – to stay off social media and to refrain from apologizing post-accident.
- Document everything that you can, including taking photos and videos of the cause of your accident as well as any visible injuries you’ve sustained, taking witness statements, and gathering witness contact information.
We understand that after being injured in an electrical accident, some of these steps may be beyond your current capabilities. While you tend to your physical and emotional recovery, you can count on your experienced electrocution injury attorney to ably handle everything else.
Evidence to Boost Your Claim
The kind of evidence that is most likely to bolster your accident claim in California includes:
- Your related medical records and doctor’s report regarding the extent of your injuries
- Eyewitness testimonies at the accident scene
- The testimony of experts in fields that are relevant to your accident or injuries
- Accident reconstruction models if the mechanics of the accident are complex
- Photos and videos that depict the accident itself or that depict factors that played a role in the accident
- Your own testimony and the testimony of those who know you best regarding the effect the accident has had on your life
Don’t Miss Your Deadline to File
The statute of limitations – or time limit – for filing a lawsuit against the at-fault party in California is a brief two years from the date of the accident or from the time that you reasonably discovered you’d been injured. If you suffered an electrocution injury on the job, however, workers’ compensation benefits apply, and time is of the essence.
Our Attorney Fees
We recognize that taking on legal fees in the face of a serious electrocution accident generally isn’t feasible, and in response, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means we only get paid if we win your case.
Determining Liability in Your Accident
Determining liability in the accident that leaves you injured is foundational to your case, and who the at-fault party is will depend on the type of accident involved. Consider the following:
- If you were injured as a result of a poorly maintained property, the property owner may be held responsible for their negligence.
- If you were injured on the job – as a construction worker, for example – workers’ compensation is likely to be triggered, which takes negligence out of the equation. As an employee, you’re generally entitled to compensation, and an accomplished attorney can help ensure that it’s maximized.
- If you were injured as a construction worker and the accident was caused by the negligence of a third party, such as a contractor, you can seek full compensation with a personal injury claim against them.
- If a faulty consumer product leaves you with an electrocution injury, the manufacturer may be liable for the losses you suffer.
Applying Cali’s Comparative Fault Law
California employs what is known as a pure comparative fault system, which means that, even if the claimant is determined to share some of the fault for the accident that leaves them injured, they can seek compensation for the percentage of their losses that the other party is responsible for.
This makes the assessment of fault a primary matter in relation to your settlement or court award.
A California electrocution injury attorney from our firm is more than up to the task of maximizing your compensation in this regard.
Compensation You Can Seek
If you were electrocuted as a result of someone else’s negligence, you can seek compensation for both your economic and non-economic damages – or losses. Economic damages generally break down into the following categories:
- Property damage, such as to your vehicle and its contents in a car accident involving a power pole
- Your medical bills, which can be extensive and ongoing in the aftermath of an electrocution injury
- Your earnings, which may reflect a decrease in earning power into the future
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, refer to losses that don’t come with a ready price attached, such as your physical and emotional pain and suffering. This category of loss can easily eclipse all the others combined.
In those cases in which the at-fault party’s negligence is considered egregious or in which the at-fault party showed a complete lack of concern regarding your safety, the court may award punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer rather than to compensate the injured party.
General Information on Electrocution Accidents
Common Injuries We See as Attorneys
Electrocution injuries can take many different forms:
- Burns – some of the most painful injuries and are highly susceptible to dangerous infections, are slow to heal, and – when they’re associated with electrocutions – are more likely to cause serious internal damage
- Cardiac arrest – requires immediate medical attention, and – if survived – can lead to life-altering complications
- Neurological damage affects both the brain and nervous system
- Muscle pain and spasms that can persist long after the accident and can interfere with your ability to perform the activities of daily living and with your mobility
- Emotional trauma can take the form of PTSD, which comes with psychological consequences that can be very difficult to overcome, such as terrifying flashbacks, anxiety attacks, night terrors, and beyond
Leading Causes of Electrocution Accidents in California
The most common causes of electrocution accidents include:
- Dangerously defective products that often have faulty wiring
- Electrical systems that malfunction, which can be due to overloaded circuits, improper component installations, and more
- Accidents involving electricity on construction sites, in warehouses, or on production lines
- Poorly maintained properties can create hazardous conditions that lead to dangerous electrocution accidents
