Construction Accidents

Electrocution Accidents

Electrocution is a serious risk to workers in the industrial, mechanical, and construction trades.

Accidents involving contact with high-voltage wires and power transformers in train and rail yards can be severe, even deadly.

But, most electrical accidents at a worksite occur randomly.  The most common cause is improper wiring of electrical equipment, or when workers are given inadequate safety training, or by defective products.  Employer negligence is also sometime to blame.  

Heart damage, burn injuries, and permanent disabilities are among the injuries sustained by victims of electrical accidents.
