Many people believe that those who endure an electric shock aren’t actually injured, but the reality is that some people do suffer serious injuries and even death as a result of an electrical shock accident in the workplace. In fact, the outcome of high-voltage electrical shocks could include burns, internal injuries, changes in vision, speech and hearing, and head and spinal injuries.
While user error could be the reason why an electric shock occurred, there are other causes of electrical shock injuries such as downed power lines, frayed electrical wires, and unsafe work environments. In any event, injuries that occur as a result of electric shock accidents on the job should be covered by workers’ comp benefits. You don’t have to worry if you feel like you are at fault for the accident because workers’ compensation doesn’t require proving fault on the part of your employer.
