Accidents involving electricity may occur anywhere. It might happen while a person is at work, at home, or while they are out and about. When an adult gets electrocuted, it is almost often as a result of a work-related mishap. When a child is harmed in the same sort of event, however, it frequently occurs at home.
Accidents involving electricity may nearly always be avoided. They are frequently the product of someone else’s carelessness or negligence. If you or a loved one has been wounded in an electrical accident in which another individual was totally or partially to blame, contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas for a free case review at 909-982-0707 now.
Accidents involving electrocution at home are caused by a variety of factors
Defective household appliances and poor wiring are two of the most prevalent causes of electrocution accidents in the home. They usually merely produce electric shock, but electrocution is a possibility. It may be extremely harmful if a wire is not properly insulated or is exposed.
This is especially true for youngsters, who can take far lower voltages before a shock becomes lethal. Electric shock and electrocution can be caused by household equipment, both large and little; in fact, firms recall domestic appliances every year for this reason.
A premises liability claim might emerge from an electrocution on someone else’s property
When a person gets electrocuted on someone else’s property, a premises liability case may be appropriate. In essence, a property owner is legally obligated to maintain their property secure for legitimate visitors. If they do not, they might be held liable for any injuries or fatalities that occur. If this sounds like your situation, call Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 for a free consultation.
Product liability may also be a factor
If a person gets electrocuted as a result of a faulty product, the producer and/or designer of the device may be held liable for the injuries. This includes items that are flawed in the way they are developed, manufactured, or sold.
Electrocution-related injuries and the possibility of compensation
The severity of electrocution injuries varies depending on the amount of voltage, the current, the precise pathway, the length of time the victim was in touch with the problem, and the kind of circuit. Heart attacks, convulsions, and scorched skin are all examples of injuries.
If you or a loved one was hurt in an electrical accident that was largely or fully the fault of someone else, you may have grounds for a personal injury case, no matter how slight or significant the injuries were.
