Philadelphia Lawyers for Work Accident Victims: Electrocution
Working with, or near, high-voltage power lines or other live electrical currents is dangerous work, even for trained professionals. An electrical surge or contact with the electrical current can cause mechanical workers, utility workers and other workers dealing with power lines and electrical wiring to suffer life-altering injuries and electrocution death.

We are skilled workers' compensation lawyers with the knowledge and compassion to assist clients through this difficult time.

Work Accidents Leading to Electrical Injury or Electrocution
Our Philadelphia job injury attorneys represent construction workers, utility workers, factory/manufacturing plant workers, and other workers who are injured in a work-related electrical accident, such as accidents involving:
- Cranes or other construction equipment coming into contact with power lines
- Subcontractors splicing faulty wiring
- Electrical surges during a utility worker's repair work

Electric shock can cause workers to suffer severe burn injuries, nerve damage or neurological injury, brain trauma, heart attack, paralysis and other catastrophic injuries. We work with your medical professionals to ensure your injuries and limitations on working are fully documented. Our Philadelphia workers' compensation attorneys can help you file appropriate workers' comp claims and investigate if other third party personal injury claims are warranted — such as a product liability claim against a manufacturer of defective equipment.
Death Benefits for Families of Fatal Electrocution Victims
Our attorneys offer experienced guidance to the spouse or children of workers who have died as a result of an electrocution accident on the job. We take on the burden of handling death benefit claims and investigating potential wrongful death actions so that the family can focus their attention on grieving their terrible loss and learning how to move forward after the work accident.
