Representing the Survivors of Catastrophic Injury
Electrocution can cause a variety of catastrophic injury and sometimes death. The extent and severity of electrocution trauma is determined by several factors, including the duration of contact with the current, the amount of voltage experienced, the types of current and circuits involved, and the path the electricity takes through the body. Injuries may be caused by direct contact with an electrical source or arcing electricity, such as from a downed power line. An electrical arc can cause flash burns. Burns can occur when clothing catches fire from arcing electric current. No matter what the cause the result can be devastating to the survivor and his family.
Electrocution injuries can cause damage to any organ of the body. Burn injuries also result from hot water, fires, explosions and chemicals, as well as electricity. Survivors of electrocution and burn injuries may suffer:
- Scarring and disfigurement, requiring extensive reconstructive work
- Prolonged physical and emotional trauma
- Central nervous system damage, including depression and aggression
- Muscle and soft tissue damage, requiring surgery
