Houston Construction Electrocution Lawyers
At any given stage of a construction project, the risk of electrical shocks or tragic electrocutions is prevalent. This is due to the use of power tools and the frequent presence of exposed electrical wires during construction. The risk of serious accidents can be greatly elevated by the defective construction, design, maintenance, or oversight of the tools or electrical circuits and systems in question.
If you have been harmed or have tragically lost a loved one due to the negligent design, construction, maintenance, or oversight of these tools or sites, legal action may be appropriate. To discuss your legal rights with an experienced representative, contact the Houston electrocution attorneys of Williams Kherkher today by calling 832-369-8296.
The Effects of Electrical Shock
The human body depends upon its own, internal electrical impulses. The introduction of outside sources can seriously interfere with the body’s ability to function properly. The following problems may occur due to an electrical shock:
- Heat damage due to the high power of a shock
- Fibrillation in the heart
- Loss of muscle control
- Brain and nervous system damage
Electrical burns are also likely to result and these can be extremely painful. Electrocution, however, refers to the worst possible outcome, a fatality attributable to a person’s contact with a strong electrical current.
