According to the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration, some of the most common causes of electrocution are unsafe electrical products and unsafe work environments.
When a worker is electrically shocked at his place of employment, his employer’s workers’ compensation insurance may cover medical bills and lost wages. Employees injured at work are required to act quickly after an on-the-job injury, and an experienced workman’s compensation attorney can help an injured employee to efficiently navigate the complicated and bureaucratic workers’ compensation system.
