Though electrocution accidents both at home and at the workplace are reportedly on the decline in Ontario, when they do occur, they can cause a range of injuries, disabilities or even death. Electrocution accidents can also aggravate pre-existing medical conditions, and all these situations lead to physical, financial and emotional injuries. Accidents are almost always caused by another’s fault or negligence and the injured are entitled to seek compensation from those responsible for their safety and welfare. Contact a Foresters Falls personal injury lawyer with experience in handling such cases to represent you in filing a personal injury claim.
Types and Causes of Electrocution Accidents
Electrical accidents usually occur due to malfunction or mishaps in power sources, AC/DC supply, high or low voltage or power surges. They may also be caused by inadvertent contact with a live power source, malfunctioning of appliances, gadgets and instruments powered by electricity, use of faulty/cheap replacement parts/equipment, failure to repair, failure to observe the prescribed safety norms, inadequate information or supervision, etc. Our top-rated accident lawyers can conduct independent investigations to identify the causes of the accident.
In many cases, as our top personal injury lawyers in Toronto are aware, there is inadequate monitoring of use of electrical appliances by children or seniors, like heating devices, etc.
Injuries caused by electrocution accidents include: burns, cardiac arrest, seizure, paralysis, brain damage, amnesia, loss of function, internal organ damage, post-traumatic stress, psychological trauma etc. and require huge outlay in medical expenditure, hospitalization, rehabilitation etc. The victim and family suffer physically, financially and emotionally.
