Electrocution: Common Causes & Risk Factors

Although electrocution accidents are relatively rare, the risk of electrical shock is surprisingly high, often due to inadequate safety measures, defective products, or building code violations. These incidents can happen at work, in the home, or even on someone else's property. But one thing they frequently have in common? Negligence.

In San Antonio, electrocution accidents often arise from:

• Inadequate Training: Lack of proper safety training in the workplace can lead to the mishandling of electrical equipment on the job or in other workplace settings.
• Faulty Equipment: Defective wiring or outdated electrical equipment, such as circuit breakers, pose significant electrical shock hazards to workers, homeowners, and others.
• Unsafe Work Environments: When employers cut corners or violate safety regulations, they put workers at risk. Electrocution risks rise when work environments are unsafe. 

On a larger scale, electrocution accidents can result from systemic issues, such as insufficient oversight of local construction projects or inadequate municipal responses to infrastructure faults. Our firm actively investigates both the immediate and broader concerns that contribute to electrocution accidents in San Antonio, helping to ensure that any underlying regulatory failures are addressed and, potentially, influencing systemic changes that benefit public safety.

How Local Regulations & Building Codes Affect Electrocution Cases in San Antonio

Electrocution accidents occur due to numerous factors in various environments, from poorly maintained machinery on construction sites to faulty wiring in residential homes. In San Antonio, regulations governing workplace safety and electrical standards set specific criteria that employers, builders, landowners, and others must follow. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plays a significant role in enforcing safety compliance at jobsites, while the city's building codes strictly enforce electrical safety standards. Our team is well-versed in federal, state, and local regulations and uses that knowledge to demonstrate negligence. This allows our San Antonio electrocution attorneys to advocate fiercely on behalf of accident victims and their families. 

In addition to OSHA standards, Texas has specific laws governing electrical safety, particularly in high-risk industries. We leverage our understanding of these regulations to ensure all avenues for liability are explored and, more importantly, that all responsible parties are held accountable. Whether dealing with workplace incidents or public safety hazards, our approach is thorough, aggressive, and aimed at securing the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Legal Process & What to Expect with Your Electrocution Accident Case

Pursuing an electrocution accident claim involves several key steps:

• Initial Consultation: First, we invite you to discuss your possible case with us during a free, no-obligation consultation. During this initial meeting, we'll go over what happened, how you've been affected, and whether you have a case. 
• Investigation: Once we take your case, we thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident or injury, gathering essential evidence to build your case. 
• Filing Your Claim: Whether filing a claim against an insurance company or filing a lawsuit in court before the statute of limitations passes, we take prompt action to protect your rights. 
• Negotiation: In most cases, we strive to achieve a fair resolution by settling your case. This involves negotiating with the liable party (the “defendant”) for a settlement amount that covers the full extent of your damages.
• Trial: If a favorable settlement cannot be reached, we may pursue your case in court. Our team will be transparent with you throughout this process and only recommend what's best for your case.

No two cases are exactly alike, so the process may differ somewhat from this general outline. However, when you choose The Warrior Law Firm, there's one thing you can count on: we'll do everything in our power to maximize your recovery and hold the liable party or parties accountable. 

Electrocution Accident FAQ

What Should I Do Immediately After an Electrocution Accident?

First and foremost, call 911 and/or seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries appear minor. Only a medical professional can determine the true extent of your injuries and recommend the appropriate treatment. If you can, you should also document the accident scene and gather witness information, including any witnesses' names and contact info. It's also important to report the incident to the relevant authorities, such as work supervisor, employer, or landlord. If you suspect illegal conduct, contact the police and file an official report. 

One thing to avoid doing after an electrocution accident is talking to anyone from the other party's insurance company, whether that's your employer's workers' compensation provider or your landlord's property insurer. Instead, speak to a San Antonio electrocution accident attorney first. Our team can help you understand and protect your rights, as well as avoid being underpaid or dismissed by the insurance company.

How Can an Electrocution Accident Lawyer Help Me?

While it's not required that you hire an electrocution accident lawyer, it's a good idea to do so. At The Warrior Law Firm, our legal professionals can carefully assess your situation, determine who is liable, and pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, lost earning capacity, and more. We proudly provide support and advocacy throughout the process.

What Compensation Can I Expect with My Electrocution Injury Claim? 

Compensation varies based on the injury's severity and its impact on your life, among other factors. However, potential recoveries include costs associated with medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of income, physical pain, and emotional distress. Our electrocution attorneys in San Antonio strive to obtain full and just compensation tailored to each client's unique circumstances.

Calculating fair compensation involves assessing both immediate needs and long-term consequences. We conduct thorough evaluations to ensure nothing is overlooked, such as future healthcare needs or vocational rehabilitation. By looking beyond immediate costs, we secure compensation that truly reflects the accident’s impact, offering financial security as you rebuild your life.

How Long Do I Have to File an Electrocution Accident Lawsuit in Texas? 

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including electrocution accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident or injury. Failing to file within this period may forfeit your right to claim compensation. In other words, if you wait too long, you could lose your right to compensation. We urge you to contact our firm right away to avoid losing your right to not only recover for your damages but also to hold the negligent party accountable for the harm you have endured.
