Hurt by Electricity on the Job?

Our New York Electrical Accident Attorneys Are Ready to Help

Electrocution Accidents on Construction Sites in New York

Electrocution injuries and fatalities are quite common on construction sites. Following OSHA safety procedures is critical–but even when safety rules are followed, accidents still happen.

New York law requires that workers be informed of the location of all power lines—general, aerial, and underground—to avoid dangerous contact. These lines must be clearly and permanently marked.

But electrical accidents aren’t always caused by faulty wiring. Construction workers and electricians are constantly exposed to:

  • Transformers and circuit breakers
  • Power tools and capacitors
  • HVAC systems
  • High voltage and overhead power lines
  • Even extension cords

Exposed cables, overloaded circuits, poor grounding, and broken or poorly maintained electrical equipment are common on New York job sites—and they pose serious electrocution hazards.

⚠️ Electrocutions can happen in any workplace, but working in construction or landscaping increase the risk.

If you’ve suffered an electrocution injury at work, you may be entitled to workers’ comp benefits. And in some cases, additional financial recovery through a personal injury claim.

Whether it’s you or a loved one who’s been hurt, reach out to our team today. Our New York electrical accident attorneys are ready to go to work for you immediately.

We know you’re facing a lot. Recovery is painful, expensive, and overwhelming. And the legal process? Complicated.

➤ At Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers, we’ll assume responsibility for the legal side while you focus on healing. Our team knows the ins and outs of New York personal injury law—and we also understand what you’re going through. (or how difficult this entire process is for you.)

Injuries from Electrical Accidents at Work

When electricity passes through the body, it can cause serious harm—ranging from electrical burns to death.

Even a moment of contact with an electrical current, arc blast, or electric shock can result in serious injury:

  • Nerve, muscle, or tissue damage, sometimes with internal bleeding
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Thermal burns from contact with electricity. An electric or thermal burn is the most common injury in an electrical accident
  • Falls, blows and other injuries caused by muscle loss and loss of coordination when falling after an electric shock

Electrocution Can Be Fatal

It doesn’t take a high voltage to be deadly. The longer a person is in contact with electricity, the higher the risk of death.

⚠️ Electrocution can cause:

  • Death from ventricular fibrillation
  • Death by fall or blow after an electric shock or arc blast
  • Death by suffocation

If you’ve been seriously hurt or lost someone due to an electrical injury at work—we’re here for you.

What Workers’ Comp Benefits You Can Get After an Electrocution Injury

Workers’ compensation benefits for electric accidents could cover medical expenses, lost income and funeral expenses.

But workers’ comp may not be your only option. Could you file a personal injury lawsuit? If so, you could get a much higher settlement.

➤ Whether you qualify for workers’ comp, personal injury compensation or both, work with an experienced personal injury attorney that specializes in electrical accidents. It’s the best way to maximize your financial recovery and make sure no money is left on the table.

Don’t face growing medical bills alone. We can help.

Medical Expenses

Medical benefits pays for all necessary medical care expenses related to your injury.

  • Doctor visits
  • Emergency room treatment
  • Physical therapy,
  • Prescription medications
  • Medically necessary X-rays, or analysis ordered by your doctor.

Lost Wages

If your application is approved, you’ll receive regular payments to replace a portion of your lost income.

These benefits continue for a set number of weeks. Or until your doctor says you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI).

⚠️ If the severity of your injuries block you from ever returning to work, we’ll help you file for permanent total disability benefits.

Death Benefits for Families

If you’ve lost someone in an electrocution work accident, you may be eligible to compensation and survivor benefits, including:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Repatriation costs (if the body must be transported)
  • Financial support for surviving family members
  • Education benefits for the surviving spouse

The exact amount varies depending on the specific facts of the case. But we’ll fight to make sure your family gets the full support the law allows.

Can You Sue for Electrocution Injuries at Work?

Personal Injury Claims against Third Parties

In New York, you can’t sue your employer for a workplace injury. But if another person was responsible you can file a personal injury lawsuit. This could be a general contractor, subcontractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer, or utility company.

These third-party lawsuits are harder to prove, but they often lead to greater settlements than workers’ comp alone.

💡 Why? Because workers’ comp doesn’t award for pain and suffering damages or future medical costs. But a personal injury lawsuit does.

Our Personal Injury Lawyers Specialize in Construction Site Accidents

We’ve recovered millions of dollars for victims of electrical accidents to cover their:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Hospitalization and rehabilitation costs
  • Surgeries
  • Lost of income and profits
  • Permanent injuries
  • Disability
  • Loss of livelihood or future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering—past, present, and future

You deserve justice—and the money to rebuild your life.

⚡️ Frequently Asked Questions About Electrocution Injuries at Work

Yes, BUT only if the injury meets a certain threshold.

To qualify, your electrocution injury must prevent you from doing your job.

👉 If you are still able to work after the electrical shock, you may not get any workers’ comp benefits.

You have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.

⚠️ Don’t wait. Evidence tends to disappear, and some employers or situations may have a shorter statute of limitations.

Maybe.

Our electrocution injury attorneys will fully prepare you and be by your side the entire time.

Most cases settle out of court, but if yours doesn’t, we’ve got you covered.

Yes. When electricity comes in contact with your body, a skin burn happens.

The damage caused can be permanent or temporary. There are 3 main types of electrocution burns:

  1. 🔥 Electrical
  2. ⚡️ Arc burns
  3. 🔧 Thermal contact burns

Always check with your doctors. Even if burns look minor, you may have internal injuries.

⚠️ Damage from these injuries may appear as late as 10 days after the accident.

Whether you were rushed to the nearest ER or not, here’s what helps build your case:

  • Have a doctor assess your injuries. Electrical shocks can be more serious than they seem.
  • Report it as a workplace injury to the doctor. It becomes part of your medical records and workers’ comp will cover the visit.
  • The hospital incident report documents the electrical accident
  • If hospitalized, your employer must report the event to OSHA within 24 hours
  • If treated as an outpatient, the incident should still appear in the company’s OSHA 300 logs

As your legal team, we’ll gather the evidence and build the strongest possible case for your injury. 💪
