Personal Injury Lawyers for Electrocution (Electrical Shock) Claims
NOTE: Workers’ Compensation is a complicated area of the law with many subcategories for specific injuries. The section below is to serve as a general guide to Work Electrocution (Electrical Shock) in Workers’ Compensation and how we at Lenahan & Dempsey protect the rights of workers and their families. As the facts of each case are different, we ask you contact us to determine how the specific rules and law apply to your specific case.
Electrocution/Electric Shock cases are more commonplace injuries than imagined — injuries from factory floors to remote work sites to office spaces across Pennsylvania.
At Lenahan & Dempsey, we have seen cases of electrocution/electrical shock cause death, horrible internal and external burns to skin, tissue, organs and nerves. Many of these injuries that do not take the life of the worker cause often life-long injuries and permanent disability.

Causes of Work-Related Electrocutions/Electrical Shock Injuries
Electrocutions/Electrical Shock injuries in the workplace can occur due to countless factors. Some of the more common include faulty wiring, improper use of equipment, lack of proper safety measures, poor planning, poorly maintained equipment, and human error.
These cases can lead to death, burns, heart attacks, brain damage, nerve damage, blindness, loss of the use of limbs and many more.
Workers’ Compensation and Lenahan & Dempsey Are Here To Protect You
In most circumstances, covered workers who are injured in accidents involving electricity are covered by the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act. The worker or their surviving family members may be entitled to many benefits under the Act.
Getting those benefits, however, can be complex.
Employers/Insurance Companies Often Challenge Cases
It’s not uncommon for your employer or their insurer to challenge claims. They may dispute liability for the death or injuries, challenge the extent of the injuries, claim other companies may be at fault and more.
Your Lenahan & Dempsey Workers’ Compensation team knows how to counter these claims and protect your rights. We handle all communication with your employer, their lawyers, the insurance lawyers and more. All you need to do is to concentrate on recovery or taking care of your family.
Pennsylvania Is A No-Fault Workers Compensation State
Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation laws work under a “No-Fault” system – meaning you may be eligible for Compensation benefits even if you are partially or entirely responsible for the injuries you suffered. Your Lenahan & Dempsey lawyer can carefully examine your case and explain the best way forward to get you the benefits you need and legally deserve.
