About Electrocution Accidents

According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OHSA), electrocution accidents are one of the most common types of construction accidents. In fact, electrocution is part of OSHA's Fatal Four, and causes roughly 8% of fatalities on construction sites each year. In addition to electrocution and shock, these accidents can also lead to burn injuries, arc flashes, fires, and explosions that place workers, pedestrians, and nearby residents at risk of suffering harm.

Common hazards that may lead to electrocution accidents on construction sites include:

  • Electrical work in progress
  • Exposed wiring
  • Defective equipment
  • Negligent machine operation
  • Improper warnings

Because electrocution accidents have a high potential for resulting in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death, victims and families should retain the seasoned representation needed to secure a full recovery of their damages, which may include:

  • Medical bills and future treatment costs
  • Lost work earnings
  • Disability or death benefits
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional anguish

At Morici, Longo & Associates, we are readily available to help victims and their families evaluate their case and take the next steps - whether that means a workers' compensation claim or a personal injury lawsuit.

    "If your looking for experienced, dedicated, firm that will treat you right ... Hire these guys!!"
    If your looking for experienced, dedicated, firm that will treat you right ... Hire these guys!! They fought for me and made sure I was being treated fair, got me justice , and this was some 20 years ago. As I had a situation that arose, I recently called to speak to James,  He remembered me, and we talked like we were family, he gave me a few points that  helped and would help if he could, but my situation wasn't valid .. I always tell  friends that if they need an attorney, I give them this firms number!!! Super nice people, AAA+++

    "I feel that I truly made the right choice when I was referred to Jim Morici"
    MLA is an extremely professional law firm that treats people with care. I was injured on a construction site with spinal damage and was on workman's compensation for 5 long years. There were times my comp checks were delayed and Bob Butzow called and got them released for me, any medical bill issues were handled by MLA . I feel that I truly made the right choice when I was referred to Jim Morici and still feel that MLA was my security blanket that I needed throughout this painful time in my life. I stand by Morici & Longo and you bet I refer them to any and all injured people!
