Electric accidents occur when a human body, either mistakenly or intentionally, becomes part of an electrical circuit, causing electricity to flow through that body. The injuries caused by such an episode vary, depending on how much electrical current passes through the body. Other factors that affect the injuries include what path the current took and the frequency of the current. Injuries from an Electrical Accident could include simple burns to cardiac arrest, spinal and/or brain injuries and even death.
The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration has indicated that the most common causes of electrocution are unsafe electrical products and unsafe work environments.
When an unsafe or defective product causes an electric shock, or any
other type of serious injury, you may be able to bring a
product’s liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor. In
Florida, courts require all consumer products to be reasonably safe for
their intended use. If a product is not safe or causes injury when used
in a predictable way, the product's manufacturer and distributor could
be held liable for injuries caused by the unsafe product.
If an electrical shock injury occurs at work in Florida, the employee is usually covered for out of pocket medical expenses and lost wages through Florida’s Workers Compensation System. In addition to that, the injured worker may have a claim against another party – such as the manufacturer of a product. If the product was misused or abused or inadequately maintained by the employer that may limit a potential claim against a manufacturer and the injured person would recover worker’s compensation benefits only. If the employer’s actions were reckless, and they caused an electrical shock episode, the employer may be sued for Punitive Damages in addition to the regular Workers Compensation benefits.
