Helping Johnson County Clients Recover from Electrocution Injuries

It is also true that the person electrocuted is often not the one responsible for the accident.

Understanding the Consequences of Electrocution Accidents

Compared to how quickly an electrocution accident can begin and end, the damage caused is astounding. People who have been electrocuted can suffer a wide variety of injuries, or have preexisting conditions dramatically worsened. Since electricity courses through the victim’s body, a comprehensive exam of all body parts is necessary to check for harm.

Common Injuries Resulting from Electrocution:

• Third-degree burns
• Soft tissue destruction
• Brain damage
• Internal organ failure
• Paralysis
• Weakened heart

Electrocution from a strong power source is likely to cause immediate death. In such incidents, the surviving family members of the victim may be able to file a wrongful death claim.

Calculating Compensation for Future Needs

Upfront settlement amounts offered by insurance companies working with the liable party will most likely be far too small. In order to get the right amount of compensation, you must first know your maximum medical improvement (MMI) and when you are likely to reach it. As you move towards your MMI, your medical bills will continue to increase, and you may need years of rehabilitation afterwards. Our Burleson personal injury attorneys can help you calculate your total cost of recovery and advocate for that amount—not a penny less.
