Construction workers face the risk of an electrocution injury whenever they’re working with electrical equipment.  Damaged extension cords, exposed wires, defective electrical tools and improper wiring can create hazardous working conditions on a jobsite.  Working around overhead and buried power lines can also leave workers susceptible to high voltage shocks. 

Construction workers who receive electric shock may experience serious burns, internal injuries, as well as brain injuries.  Most workplace accidents are covered by Worker’s Compensation, but under certain circumstances workers may be entitled to additional money damages.  If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, call us, Block, O’Toole & Murphy, today at (212)736-5300.  We have a proven track record of success in construction injury cases, a proven track record of success in the courtroom, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss your claim with you.  That number again is (212)736-5300.
