At Pacific Attorney Group, we offer a free initial case review to help you get started, and our lawyers take on electrocution and electrical injury cases involving serious injury or wrongful death.
Electrocution is defined as the stopping of life (a stopped heart) as a result of any type of electric shock. In everyday language, electrocution may be used to describe any injury or death caused by electric shock, whether accidental or as a result of negligence or intentional wrongdoing. Depending on the voltage, an electric shock may cause a victim’s heart to beat rapid and irregularly or may even stop the heart altogether. If caught early enough and reversed with a defibrillator, the victim’s life may be saved without any permanent injury.
However, if the shock is powerful enough the victim may lose his or her life or may suffer from burn injuries and cellular damage. Brain damage may also result from an electric shock. Electrocution may result from a machinery defect, any defective product, or from negligence in implementing state safety regulations at a construction site, plant or other work-related environment. More than just workers may be at risk of suffering electrocution or injury in these situations, as any visitor to the site or even a passerby may be injured when equipment malfunctions or another incident occurs.
An explosion in the workplace is most often catastrophic. Although many construction site accidents and other workplace accidents may be isolated incidents affecting only one or two workers, an explosion can cause serious or fatal injury to numerous workers, visitors to the site, and even passersby. On construction sites in particular, due to unsteady scaffolding or exposed gas lines or electrical panels, an explosion may cause widespread devastation to the property and all those in its vicinity.
An explosion may be caused by negligence on the part of a worker or employer, due to inexperience, improper training or a lack of standard safety protocols, or even as the result of a simple mistake. A machinery defect may also result in an explosion. Depending on the specific situation, victims in an explosion accident may suffer from serious burns, broken bones and fractures, crush injuries, damage to internal organs,amputation, disfigurement, or death. Fortunately, the victim of an explosion accident in Los Angeles may be able to recover financial compensation or benefits from a personal injury lawsuit or workers’ compensation claim.

Injuries from falling objects may occur at construction sites or other work environments. In fact, even a passerby or customer in a retail store may be at risk of injury due to a falling object at some point. If you or a loved one has been injured by a falling object in any setting, it is important to consider your legal options. By consulting our law firm, you can learn more about your particular case and what can be done to address the matter.

The injury that a falling object causes will vary depending on the type of object, its size, weight and also the height from which it fell. Where it strikes a victim, such as on the head or another part of the body, may also affect how serious the injury is. For example, if a heavy or sharp object falls from a great height and strikes a victim in the head, he or she is likely to suffer great bodily injury and possibly brain damage. A victim in this type of falling object accident may even lose his or her life. Regardless of the type of accident claim you may have and the extent of injury you or a loved one sustained from a falling object, an attorney at our law offices may be able to offer you the dedicated legal counsel you deserve.
In the workplace or at a construction site, defective machinery may cause serious or fatal injuries. Particularly in industrial settings, in factories or plants and at construction sites, workers rely upon heavy machinery and equipment to work properly. Unfortunately, a defective product, as well as poor maintenance or implementation of safety regulations may cause accidents and injuries to occur. A manufacturing or design defect may affect any of a number of different types of machinery or equipment.
A defective machinery accident may involve the following:
An explosion, electrocution or amputation may result from a machinery defect, as may crush injuries or a fall. Depending on the particular matter, a lawsuit or claim may be brought against your employer or perhaps the manufacturer of the defective machine or equipment. By investigating your case and working with experts in the field as necessary, an experienced attorney can work to take the legal action you deserve and recover the money you need for medical care and more.
