Electrical Shock Injuries in North Dakota

Helping families who lost loved ones because of electrocution

Industrial settings can be dangerous places to work, particularly when reasonable safety measures are ignored. Electrical issues and fires are common accidents that occur in these settings. Resulting injuries often require extensive and costly medical treatment and lengthy recoveries. Victims of third-degree burns due to fire or electricity may have to endure months of painful reconstructive surgery and physical therapy. They can also suffer from the psychological challenges for the rest of their lives.

Larson Law has spent more than 45 years providing industrial workers with personal and professional help for their workplace injury claims. Our professional North Dakota electrical injury attorneys are dedicated to helping those who are left to suffer due to the negligent or reckless actions of others.

What you should know about electrical injuries

Electrical injuries fall into three categories:

1. Shocks. Electric shocks are caused by an electrical current flowing through a person’s body. They can cause cardiac arrest, damage to the muscles, broken bones, and excruciating pain. If the person is shocked with enough current, he or she may be flung back, increasing the risk of a traumatic brain injury.
2. Burns. Electrical burns can occur inside the body as well as outside of it. The heads, hands, and feet are the most commonly burned areas. Depending on the voltage, a person may sustain permanent scarring and disfigurement.
3. Electrocution. Electrocution is a fatal injury. It occurs when an electrical current passes through the body. It causes significant damage to the muscles and tissue, and can cause the heart to stop.

At Larson Law, we have worked with numerous clients who sustained severe, life-altering electrical burns and shocks, and with the families of workers who died as a result of electrocution.
