Indianapolis Electrocution Lawyer

The human body is very sensitive to electric current, and can sense electric currents at approximately 1 milliamp. Currents as low as 10 milliamps can cause muscle contractions; this can be particularly dangerous if a hand grips a source of shock, as the involuntary contractions may render the victim unable to let go of the source. Currents higher than 100 milliamps can cause ventricular fibrillation, causing the heart muscles to fail, to contract in unison, and thus ceases to pump blood. This condition can result in death in a matter of minutes if untreated.

The most common source of electric shock and electrocution is occupational; construction sites and other similar environments are typically responsible. If you or a loved one has suffered an electric shock or electrocution while on the job or otherwise, contact the Indianapolis electrocution lawyers at the Charles D. Hankey Law Office, P.C. today at 800-520-3633.

Electric Shock Injury Liability

Employers are responsible for adequately protecting their workers from any unsafe environments or electrical defects that could cause a devastating injury. If your employer or site manager has failed to make sure that all possible safety precautions have been met, you may be in a position to claim damages for the injury and suffering that you have needlessly suffered.
