Electrocution / Electric Shock

Electricity can kill, and it should be handled with extreme care. If a loved one has suffered a wrongful death as a result of electrocution, or you have been injured by electric shock, a Wilkes-Barre or Scranton-area construction accident lawyer from the Foley Law Firm may be able to help you. Electrical work should only be performed by qualified electricians. Unfortunately, our firm finds that many contractors pay little attention to safely securing live electrical ends on construction sites because they feel it is neither cost efficient nor time efficient. Construction companies and contractors have an obligation to provide a safe work environment for all of their employees, and part of that obligation entails that any electrical dangers be eliminated or conspicuously labeled.

To discuss the circumstances of your case, don't hesitate to contact a Scranton & Stroudsburg construction accident lawyer today.
