Every year thousands of workers are killed or seriously injured because of faulty or defective electrical wiring or employer negligence. Many workers have been seriously injured or killed by electrocution. Coming into contact with power lines, exposed electrical sources, and so on may result from an employer's negligence. In addition to work related injuries, consumers who have purchased defective products that result in electrocution also represent a vast number of victims.
Workers' Compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are compensated for their monetary losses. These laws also provide benefits for dependents of those workers who are killed because of work-related accidents.
Although workers' compensation benefits aide employees while injured on the job, they are usually not sufficient to fully compensate injured workers for all damages sustained as a result of their work-related accident.
Consumers who have been electrocuted as a result of a defective product have the right to file a claim against the manufacturer of the product to recover their damages including medical expenses, loss of current and future earnings, loss of enjoyment and pain and suffering.
