Were You Hurt In An Electrical Accident?

Electrical accidents happen frequently on New York construction sites. The electric shock can cause severe burns or other serious injuries, if the worker falls off a ladder or if the shock is powerful enough to knock the person to the ground, leading to other injuries and head trauma. Electric shocks can also be deadly.

What Can Cause An Electrical Accident?

The most common causes of electric shock accidents are:

  • Contact with an active wire or power line
  • Improperly installed wires, power lines and power boxes
  • Poorly maintained or faulty wiring
  • Ungrounded wires
  • Arc flash
  • Deteriorated wire insulation
  • Faulty equipment or tools
  • Workers who are uninformed about live wires and power lines
  • Poorly marked construction sites
  • Inadequate safety training
  • Neglectful supervision
  • Workers under the influence of drugs or alcohol

In most instances, the cause of an electrical accident could have been avoided. Kelner & Kelner Esqs have the experience and resources to fully investigate the cause of the accident, which is critical to determine who is liable for damages.
