Electrocution and electric shock injuries can be devastating. The human body is simply not equipped to handle high voltage electrical waves coursing through the body.

Both internal and external burns are likely to result from electrocution. Other common injuries that can be caused by electrocution accidents include:
Electrocution accidents that take place on construction sites can also cause falls from scaffolding, ladders and roofs. Those fall-related injuries only magnify the severity of the electrocution injuries, and can include:

There are two basic avenues for recovering compensation after an electrocution accident. If you were injured at work, you can file a workers’ compensation claim. In other cases, you may be entitled to compensation via a personal injury lawsuit. If someone who was not your employer was careless and caused your accident, the skilled accident lawyers at The Epstein Law Firm, P.A. will work tirelessly to get you fair compensation for:
To establish liability in a personal injury lawsuit, our lawyers will work to prove that negligent or reckless behavior caused your electrocution accident. If you were injured at work, we are here to work with you through the workers’ compensation process to make sure you get full benefits for your medical bills and lost wages.
We thoroughly research the circumstances surrounding your electrocution accident to determine what happened. Even if you were injured while at work, we will investigate to establish whether someone who wasn’t your employer is financially responsible. Electrocution accidents are often caused by:
Determining the cause of the electrocution accident is the key to establishing who can be held financially responsible. We work to identify all available insurance coverage to make sure you get the financial compensation you deserve.
Importantly, if you were hurt at work, pursuing your right to coverage beyond workers’ compensation does not mean that your workers’ compensation check will stop.
At The Epstein Law Firm, P.A., our trusted injury lawyers have extensive experience helping victims of electrocution recover fair compensation across New Jersey. Complications can quickly arise in these cases as the interplay between insurance coverage and workers’ compensation becomes clear—and our lawyers are here to help.

Workers’ compensation will cover all of your medical expenses and about 2/3 of your lost wages. The amount of your weekly check will depend upon your average weekly wages prior to the electrocution accident. Workers’ compensation also provides death benefits if the electrocution resulted in death. Even if you are able to work in some capacity, you may be entitled to partial benefits to make up for any earnings shortfall after the accident.
Anyone who was: – Not your employer or a co-worker, and – Negligent in some way that caused your electrocution accident
Examples of the parties that could potentially be held responsible include: – The manufacturer or designer of equipment that was defective where the defect resulted in your electrocution accident – A contractor working on the site who was not your employer – Property owners – Power companies
The difference between an independent contractor and an employee: there are several different factors that go into that. And just because your employer might pay you on a 1099 does not necessarily mean that you’re an independent contractor. And that’s just one example. Sometimes the employer may take the position that the accident didn’t happen in the course of employment for whatever reason. And so, by hiring the Epstein Law Firm, we can help you weed out those issues, and we can work with you to combat the insurance carriers’ and the employers’ arguments regarding the person as an independent contractor, or did not get injured during the course of employment. There are several circumstances where an employer might take the position that the accident didn’t happen during the course of employment, and there are several factors that go into the determination as to whether or not the employee was actually in the course of their employment at the time of the accident.
