Electrical Shock is very Painful
Pain and suffering due to electrical shock can be unbearable and depressing. The human body is a good conductor of electricity. Electric currents travel easily through the body generating shocks and burn injuries that can be sometimes fatal.
Electrical shock leads to burns of varying magnitude. When low voltage electric current passes through the body, reflex action pulls the body back before experiencing a shock. High voltages can weaken the reflexes and cause injuries to heart muscles, brain instantaneously leading to death. Medical care is usually traumatic, expensive, and complicated for the burn victim and the family. Such electrocution injuries can lead to:
- Loss of income, present, and future
- Loss due medical expenses
- Extreme pain and trauma
- Loss of skin and organ function
Negligence Plays a Major Role
Electrocution can occur when electric lines or connections are not designed as per established quality standards. Negligence can play a major role in electrocution of people in apartments, office buildings, or even in public spaces.
Electric shock and electrocution can occur due to:
- Violations of OSHAS rules and regulation
- Faulty wiring & installations
- Non-adherence to safety measures
- Defective products
Electrical fires and falling/broken or swaying overhead power cables can cause serious electrocution injuries. The power companies have the responsibility to secure such broken and sagging power lines before a catastrophe can happen. Negligent power companies can be made to pay for their indifference toward public safety and life.
