From Car Accidents and Other Auto Accidents to Construction Site Accidents, We Handle All Types of Electrocution Injury Cases in Jefferson County, KY

Electrocution accidents can cause various types of common injuries. For example, victims of electrocution accidents will often suffer one or more of the following types of injury:

• Flash Injury: The electrical current causes superficial burns but does not pass through the skin.
• Flame Injury: The electrical current causes the person’s clothing to catch fire, but may not pass through the skin.
• Lightning Injury: A very short but high-voltage electrical current passes through the victim’s body.
• True Injury: The victim’s body becomes part of the electrical current and shows an entrance and exist site.

While accidents on construction sites and other jobsites are among the most common causes of electrocution injuries, car wrecks, truck accidents, accidents involving defective products, and other types of serious accidents can potentially lead to electrocution injuries as well. No matter what happened, if you suffered burns, organ damage, nerve damage, or any other type of serious traumatic injury, our Louisville electrocution accident lawyers can use the police report, your medical records and other documentation to seek the full compensation you deserve.

Electrical Injuries Can Lead to Significant Financial and Non-Financial Costs

If you have a personal injury claim involving an electrocution injury, you are entitled to just compensation for your financial and non-financial losses under Kentucky law. This is true whether you will be able to make a full recovery or you have been diagnosed with a permanent disability that will impact the rest of your life. When you hire a lawyer at our firm to help you navigate the legal process, your lawyer will help you seek just compensation for your:

• Medical costs (for all forms of necessary medical treatment resulting from the injury)
• Other out-of-pocket expenses
• Lost wages and benefits
• Lost future earning capacity
• Loss of consortium and companionship
• Loss of enjoyment of life

In many cases, accident victims who suffer electrocution injuries will suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, crush injuries, and other life-altering injuries as well. All types of catastrophic injuries can cause severe financial strain and chronic pain and suffering, and they can negatively impact your life in many other ways as well. We are committed to holding responsible parties fully accountable for our clients’ losses, and we will seek the justice you deserve at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

How our Louisville Electrocution Accident Attorneys Can Help

Dolt, Thompson, Shepherd, Conway & Stanton, PSC has secured large verdicts and settlements for people who have been injured in electrocution accidents. We handle only a small number of clients at any given time. This provides each client with personalized attention. Our firm offers comprehensive representation as we address clients’ concerns after an electrocution accident.

We seek answers to the questions that will uncover the liable party:

• Was the company in compliance with OSHA regulations?
• Was the equipment properly tagged out/locked out and the power cut off?
• Did an exposed wire or buried cable cause the electrocution?
• Was the company aware of the electrical hazards?
• Was the electrical grounding sufficient?
• Were the ladders and other equipment appropriate for use around electricity?

The consequences of overlooking safety measures can be enormous. A worker can suffer a burn injury, permanent damage, and even a fatality. Along with handling personal injury claims, we handle wrongful death claims as well. If you have lost a loved one in an electrocution accident, our wrongful death attorneys in Louisville can help you bring forward a wrongful death suit under Kentucky Law.

In most cases, seeking just compensation for an electrocution involves dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Many types of liability insurance cover electrocution accidents, and injury victims and their families can file insurance claims to seek just compensation for their financial and non-financial losses. If possible, we will negotiate a favorable insurance settlement on your behalf. But, if a fair settlement is not on the table, we will not hesitate to fight to recover compensation for your losses in court.

When considering settlement offers, there are several important factors to keep in mind. For example, an insurance company’s initial offer is rarely its best offer, and early settlement offers rarely (if ever) include punitive damages. Since electrocutions can lead not only to the need for emergency medical attention, but to property damage, lost income, physical therapy costs, and other financial and non-financial costs as well, it is critical to ensure that you do not settle your case too soon.
