Miami Electrocution Accident Lawyers

Seeking Fair Compensation for Electrical Injuries & Deaths

Electrocution accidents are extremely serious incidents that often lead to catastrophic injury and death. Sadly, these accidents are often entirely avoidable and occur only because someone else—whether another person, an employer, or even a product manufacturer—acted negligently or wrongfully.

If you were injured or if someone you love tragically passed away due to an electrical accident, turn to the compassionate and experienced legal team at Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers. We represent victims of all types of electrocution accidents throughout South Florida, including the surviving family members of fatal electrical accident victims. We understand the immense challenges you are facing, as well as the many difficulties that lay ahead—and we know how to help you fight for the full, fair compensation you and your family are owed.

How Electrocution Accidents Happen

Electrocution occurs when any part of the body comes into contact with electricity. This causes an electrical pulse to move through the body, leading to an array of injuries, such as nerve damage, electrical burns, and shock to various organs, including the heart.

Most instances of electrocution occur when an individual accidentally touches or otherwise comes into contact with a source that conducts electricity.

Such materials include:

• Electrical wires
• Machinery
• Metal
• Power lines
• Electrically charged water

Electrical currents are categorized according to voltage, or the degree of electricity. The higher the voltage, the greater the damage and the more likely the risk of permanent injury or death.

Who Is Most at Risk of Electrocution?

Statistically, people who work with or around electricity are at the greatest risk of being injured or killed in electrical accidents.

This includes the following types of workers:

• Electricians
• Power line workers
• Construction workers
• Roofers
• Contractors and subcontractors
• Laborers
• Carpenters
• Telecommunications workers
• Industrial workers
• Maintenance workers
• Heating and air conditioning installers and repair technicians
• Employees who work with electrical machinery

However, anyone who comes into contact with live electrical currents can be electrocuted. Children are also at risk, as they may not understand the dangers of touching electrical outlets, wires, and other electricity conductors.

If you were injured in a workplace accident, you could be entitled to workers’ compensation in addition to or in place of filing a personal injury claim. At Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers, we can help you identify all possible sources of compensation and pursue the maximum amount you are entitled to receive following an electrical accident or injury.

How Electrocution Affects the Body

Electrocution has severe, far-ranging effects on the body. When the incident involves an electrical current with high voltage, the risk of death increases significantly.

Depending on various factors, including the amount of voltage, electrocution can lead to:

• Burns
• Skin damage
• Disfigurement
• Nerve damage
• Damage to internal organs
• Impaired function of bodily systems
• Cognitive impairment
• Memory problems
• Abnormal heart contractions
• Heart attack

These and other complications can have lasting, life-changing effects. Victims often require immediate medical attention and ongoing care. Some will suffer permanent impairment, causing them to become unable to return to work or earn a living for themselves or their families. In some cases, victims may even struggle to care for themselves and may require in-home assistance.

At Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers, we help victims of electrical accidents fight for fair compensation for their damages. This includes financial restitution for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, lost earning ability, and more. Our goal is to maximize the value of your claim so that you can begin to heal and move forward with your life.
