CASE HIGHLIGHTS
Fighting for Justice, Securing Millions
Physical Impact of Electrical Injuries
Even a seemingly mild electric shock can disrupt the human body, leading to a cascade of health problems. Some common electrical injuries include:
Nerve Damage
The nervous system is particularly susceptible to electrical currents. Shocks can damage your nerves, leading to chronic pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and loss of motor function. This can result in permanent injuries and ongoing medical expenses.
Severe Burns
Electrical injuries often cause painful burns that require extensive medical treatment and leave lasting scars — both physical and emotional.
Cardiac Arrest and Ventricular Fibrillation
When electrical currents disrupt the heart’s rhythm, it can lead to cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation, requiring immediate medical attention and potentially causing long-term heart problems. In severe cases, these conditions can even lead to death.
Internal Organ Damage
Electrical currents can also pass through the body’s internal organs, causing damage that is not immediately visible. This can result in internal bleeding, organ failure, and other life-threatening complications.
Psychological Trauma
Electrical injuries don’t just leave physical wounds — the experience of sustaining a major shock can be deeply traumatic, leaving emotional scars that linger long after physical injuries have healed. Victims may develop anxiety, depression, PTSD, and a fear of electricity.

Common Causes of Electrical Accidents
Many electrical accidents are caused by a failure to prioritize safety. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:
Faulty Wiring
Outdated wiring, improper installation, and inadequate maintenance can create serious electrical hazards, particularly in older homes and buildings.
Exposed Wires and Electrical Components
Construction sites, industrial settings, and even poorly maintained homes can expose individuals to live wires and other dangerous electrical components.
Downed Power Lines
Severe storms and accidents can lead to downed power lines, posing a deadly risk to anyone who comes into contact with them. The power company has a responsibility to ensure power lines are properly maintained to prevent such accidents.
Defective Products
Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products, including ensuring they do not pose any risk of electrical injury. Malfunctioning products, faulty wiring, and defective parts can all cause an electrical accident.
Understanding Negligence and Liability
To build a successful electrocution injury claim, you typically need to prove the following elements of negligence:
Duty of Care
You must show that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care to prevent your injury. For example, property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises, utility companies have a duty to properly install and maintain power lines, and manufacturers have a duty to create safe products.
Breach of Duty
You must also show that the negligent party breached their duty of care by acting negligently or recklessly. This could include failing to repair faulty wiring, leaving exposed wires unattended, or not providing adequate safety training to workers.
Causation
It must be apparent that the at-fault party’s breach of duty directly caused the electrical accident and your injuries.
Damages
Finally, you must have suffered actual harm as a result of the accident, such as physical injuries, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, or emotional distress.
Signs You May Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim
To determine whether you have a strong electrocution injury claim, answer these questions:
- Were you injured in an electrical accident that could have been prevented?
- Was the accident caused by someone else's negligence, such as a property owner, employer, utility company, or product manufacturer?
- Have you experienced significant injuries, emotional suffering, or financial losses as a result of your injuries?
- Do you have evidence to support your claim, such as photographs, witness statements, or medical records?
If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, you may have grounds for a strong electrocution injury claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after an electrical accident?
First and foremost, seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Electrical injuries can have delayed effects and can have serious impacts if left untreated. If possible, document the scene with photos and report the accident to the property owner or supervisor (if applicable).
Can I file an electrocution injury claim if the accident happened at work?
If your electrical injury occurred on the job, you might be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits to cover your medical expenses and lost wages. However, you may also have a separate personal injury claim if a third party (other than your employer) was negligent.
What if the electrocution accident was fatal?
If you’ve lost a loved one in an electrocution accident caused by someone else, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. This type of claim seeks compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, loss of companionship, and other losses.
How long do I have to file an electrocution injury lawsuit in Nevada?
Nevada’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years. If you don’t file a lawsuit within this time, you may lose your right to sue. It’s crucial to act quickly and consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your legal rights.
What if I was partially at fault for the electrical accident?
Under Nevada’s comparative negligence rule, you can pursue compensation for an electrical accident even if you were partially at fault. However, your total award would be reduced by your percentage of fault — so if you were 20% at fault and your total eligible compensation would have been $10,000, you would receive $8,000.
