It can happen in a fraction of a second. The electrical shock from a loose wire or a disconnected circuit can result in major burns that can mean weeks and months of recovery. At its worst, electrocution injuries can result in brain and organ damage, lifelong heart damage and death. If you suffered a severe electrical shock on the job, and cannot work because of your electrocution injuries, you may be entitled to receive medical coverage and compensation for lost earnings through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). Your first action should be to seek medical care through a BWC-certified doctor and clinic. Notify your employer immediately if you intend to file a claim. Then talk to an experienced attorney from the OhioBWCAttorneys.com network. Third Party Liability Many instances of on the job electrocution injury occur because of defective equipment. On construction sites, workers often receive a severe electrical shock when they come in contact with a wiring box that is left unsecured by the electrical subcontractor working on the job site. If you collect workers' compensation benefits through the BWC system, you forfeit your right to fight the BWC for additional money if your injuries get worse. But you are eligible to sue the negligent third party who is responsible for your injuries. Our lawyers are seasoned personal injury trial lawyers who can represent you in your lawsuit against the third party.
