Electrical Injuries at Home

Electrical Injury Lawyers: Injuries at Home

The power source that lights our homes and runs our appliances can also pose a significant danger to our safety.

Electrical injuries that happen at home can range from a mild electric shock, painful burn, or fatal injury. The severity of the injury is determined by the intensity of the current, its pathway through the body, and the duration of exposure.

If you have suffered a serious electrical injury, it is wise to contact an attorney who can assess your circumstances and advise you of your legal rights.

At Rouda, Feder Tietjen & Zanobini, our attorneys understand both the medical and legal consequences of electrical injuries. We can refer you to physicians skilled in treating electrical injuries, identify potential sources of liability and explain your legal options.

We represent clients who have experienced all types of severe electrical injuries, including those involving:

• Faulty electrical appliances
• Defective machinery
• Improper, uninsulated or exposed wiring
• Contact with overhead power lines
• Digging and contacting underground power lines
• Ladders or scaffolding
• Children chewing electrical cords
• Children poking conductive objects in an outlet
• Defective or dangerous products

• Water as a conductor

Children who chew on improperly insulated electrical cords at home or in day care can suffer severe lip and facial injuries that require reconstructive surgery.

Homeowners can become injured by contacting overhead or underground power lines or by handling defective electrical products.

At work and at home, injury from electricity can be caused by negligence. If the negligence of another person or organization contributed to your injury, we can pursue financial compensation for your medical and rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
