Electrocution Accidents

Types of Construction Accidents

Electrical accidents claim the lives of nearly 400 construction workers each year. The majority of these electrocution accidents occur after a worker cuts an electrical wire, touches a power line or is exposed to an ungrounded current. When the worker is not killed from the electric shock, they are at risk for life-altering injuries, which are often more severe when the individual is working on a crane, scaffold or ladder near to the high-voltage power lines.
