Being electrocuted at work is stressful and can be serious. Medical bills could be significant, and you may not be able to return to work to support yourself or your family. The legal system can be difficult to navigate on your own, but a Findlay workplace electrocution lawyer from Schaffer & Associates can help you understand your rights and seek the compensation you deserve.
At our law firm, every client and case is given personal attention. When you contact us, you will speak directly with one of our experienced workers’ comp attorneys. Our lawyers are local, so we understand the community, its industries, and the risks workers face. We have successfully advocated for workers claiming damages for workplace injuries, including electrocution, and we can do the same for you.
Electrocution injuries occur when a person comes into contact with an electrical current. They can happen in any workplace and are especially common in the construction, manufacturing, and utility industries. Workers who are exposed to faulty wiring, exposed cables, or improperly maintained equipment are especially at risk.
The severity of the injury depends on factors such as the size of the voltage, duration of contact, and how the current passed through the body. Emergency medical care—such as CPR or defibrillation—may be necessary, as well as treatment for burns, pain management, heart monitoring, and long-term rehabilitation for nerve damage. In serious cases, electrocution can result in permanent disability or even death.
Our skilled workplace injury lawyers in Findlay can help you understand why your electrocution injury happened and how to recover damages.
It is important to have a Findlay attorney with experience handling work-related electrocution claims. The state workers’ compensation system is no-fault based. This means that you do not have to prove your employer’s negligence, only that the injury happened on the job. Our lawyers can report your injury and file your claim for the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to review.
If your claim is approved, you may receive benefits. If your claim is delayed or denied, we will advocate for you through the appeals process.
At Schaffer & Associates, we take pride in offering individual attention to every client. Our lawyers are from the community and have worked with many clients from Findlay and the surrounding area, and we are here to help you, too, if you suffer a workplace electrocution. We will listen carefully to your story and collect essential evidence, such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
We will then help you file a workers’ compensation claim to cover your medical bills, lost income, ongoing treatment, and other expenses. If a third party may be liable, we will investigate to ensure you receive appropriate compensation.
Our law firm focuses on workers’ compensation cases, and we know the system well. We will guide you through the process and represent you in court if necessary. Choosing a small firm of knowledgeable and dedicated local attorneys offers you the advantage of an advocate who understands your case and goals.
