The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has indicated that there were 440 total accidental electrocutions in the United States in 1999. One hundred and seventy of these electrocutions were related to consumer products. Electrocution is now the fifth leading cause of work-related deaths in the United States, with over 50% of the total occurring in the construction industry.
According to the latest statistics from the National Fire Protection Association, there is an annual average of over 100,000 home fires caused by faulty electrical distribution systems, electrical appliances and equipment, or heating and air conditioning systems. Homes fires take an average of 860 lives, injuring 3,785 and causing nearly $1.3 billion in property damage.
Workplace injuries are just as common as injuries that occur in the home. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health estimates over 400 deaths per year occur on job sites as a result of electrical contact. Tragically, many such deaths could have been prevented by simply following proper hazard recognition and prevention procedures. For example, a common type of injury on the job site involves power line contact. Products that are regularly involved in power line contacts are cranes, bucket trucks, drill rigs, forklifts, man lifts and other aerial lifts. There have been insulating devices and various types of warning devices available to manufacturers and distributors of these products for many years. Sadly, most product manufacturers choose not to equip their products with these important safety devices.
You can prevent yourself from becoming a statistic, at home or at work, by following these simple precautionary measures:
Do not overloading outlets and extension cords
Examine electrical cords to make sure they are not damaged
Do not exceed the recommended wattage limits on light fixtures
Consider the installation of ground fault circuit interrupters
Test smoke detectors annually
Carefully follow safety precautions and manufacturer's instructions on all products
Lawsuits involving electrical injuries are usually based on serious shocks, electrical fires, even electrocutions caused by negligent maintenance and defective equipment. Often the defendants include equipment manufacturers, construction entities, and utility companies.
If you, or a loved one, have been the victim of an electrical accident that you believe was caused by someone else?s negligence, you may be able to obtain compensation for your medical and rehabilitation costs, as well as lost wages. Litigation is often the only way to ensure that you receive the compensation that you are entitled to. Please contact XXXXXX attorneys immediately regarding your injuries. We will make arrangements for your medical bills to be paid out of any future settlement, which will allow you to focus on your recovery instead of your medical bills.
The most often asked question regarding personal injury lawsuits is, ?What is the value of my claim?? This is dependent on a variety of factors; such as previous verdicts, cost of medical bills, type of injury, disability rating given to you by your physician, liability of the person who injured you and the amount of your lost wages.
