Baton Rouge Electrical Injury Lawyers

Electricity silently runs through our homes and communities, keeping them powered. But it can also be dangerous and the injuries that result from electrical causes can be very serious. Studies have shown that 5% of all burn injuries of any kind stem from electricity. All of those electrical injuries, children are the victim a disproportionate 20% of the time. The medical costs can be high. So can the mental anguish in the aftermath. And depending on the nature of the injury, the impact can be long-lasting. 

Beall & Thies has experienced Baton Rouge electrical injury lawyers that will fight for the financial settlement you need to rehab and recover. Call today at (225) 577-6223 or contact us online to set up a consultation.

Common Causes of Electrical Injuries

An electrical injury can occur most anywhere electricity runs, but here are some of the most common reasons…

Defective Products: As long as a consumer is using a product for its intended use and following any safety protocols that came with the purchase, an electrical injury is something the manufacturer can be held liable for. In this case, the remedy would be a product liability lawsuit. 

Negligence by a Property Owner: Whether it’s a home or business, owners are responsible for making reasonable efforts to keep their property a safe place to be. If they are found negligent, the victim of an electrical injury  might bring a premises liability lawsuit.

Utility Company Negligence: There are strict legal regulations that utility companies must follow in the maintenance and care of our power lines. If those aren’t followed and injuries result, the utility company can be sued. Be aware that in the event of an electrical accident, utility companies are likely to have their lawyers and investigators on the scene quickly, seeking to minimize or eliminate their liability. Anyone injured, or their family, can respond by getting a Baton Rouge electrical injury attorney there just as fast. 

Electrical Contractor Negligence: We trust that the work contractors are paid to do will be up to code and safe for ourselves, our families, and our invited guests. If it turns out that a socket was left unsecured or some other electrical failure results in an injury, the contractor (or to be more precise, their insurance company) is liable for the damages.

Types of Electrical Injuries Suffered

Surface skin burns and tissue damage from electricity can be extremely painful, but they aren’t the only injury that can be caused by electricity run amok. Other types of damage can include…

Heart Attacks: The entry of the currents into the human body cause a fibrillation, a rapid twitching of the heart muscles, and that can lead to cardiac arrest. 

Neurological Damage: The electrical currents can have an impact well beyond the heart, effectively rattling the central nervous system, resulting in damage to nerves, neurons and even brain damage

Falling Down: An example of this might be a contractor working near a wire on a ladder when the electrical current enters their body. The resulting shock causes a fall. In addition to the injuries incurred directly from the electricity, there is also the damage that results from the fall.
