Electricity is an intrinsic and important part of our daily lives but if care is not taken it can be the cause of serious and sometimes fatal accidents. The risks of being involved in an electrical accident can increase at work, particularly if the correct health and safety procedures are not followed and implemented.
The most common causes of electrical injury in the workplace include:
If you are directly exposed to a live electrical current it can cause serious harm including heart and respiratory failure. The potential symptoms of an electric shock are wide ranging and can include everything from a mild, tingling sensation to muscle spasms, seizures and loss of consciousness.
Burns caused by an electric shock can be extremely painful and life-altering, often requiring surgery and skin grafts. Internal burns caused by an electrical current passing through the bones and deep tissue of the body are particularly serious and distressing.
These are particularly dangerous as they are often made worse by using water to try and extinguish them and can cause a subsequent electric shock. Most electrical accidents at work are the result of poorly maintained equipment, faulty or exposed wiring, contact with overhead power lines or inadequate training.
We have helped thousands of clients to successfully win their claims following accidents at work, so if you have been injured while carrying out your job and it wasn’t your fault then you need to speak to qualified solicitors as soon as possible.
Employers have a duty of care to protect employees and visitors to their premises from accident or injury. This includes making sure that all electrical equipment is regularly checked, maintained and safe to use. If your employer has failed in these duties and you have been hurt as a result then you are able to pursue a compensation claim to cover your medical care, loss of earnings and additional expenses resulting from your accident.
Many of our clients are particularly concerned about pursuing action against their employer however and worry how this might impact on their job in the future. It is illegal for your employer to harass you or make life uncomfortable for you at work as a result of your claim and you are fully protected in this regard.
Your employer will have employer’s liability insurance to cover claims such as this so your compensation won’t impact financially on them or their business. We cover all areas of employment law as part of our legal service to you and will advise and support you throughout.
If your accident has taken place in the last three years and was caused fully or partially by someone else, then you could be entitled to compensation. Your final settlement will depend on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work-life and whether you are expected to make a full recovery.
Your compensation award is a justified financial redress for what has happened and is designed to protect you from any financial hardship resulting from your injury and to pay for the best medical care.
More specifically it will cover:
