While electricity is one of the great discoveries that lets the modern world exist as it does, it is not a force without dangers, and has been known to be one of the factors in a number of accident claims.
An electricity-related personal injury can be serious, or even fatal. Some people like to reserve the word 'electrocution' solely for fatal incidents, but this is not universal.
People who survive an electric shock can suffer symptoms including burns, pain in the muscles, headaches and broken bones; they may also be affected by seizures, breathing trouble or even cardiac arrest.
The ways in which an electric shock may be incurred are numerous. Construction sites, for example, provide potential risks as cables are laid or uncovered, and the company may be shown to be negligent by a no win, no fee lawyer if it has not prepared for this eventuality in keeping with a risk assessment.
Products that have been manufactured badly may become live if appropriate insulation breaks down. A compensation claim may become pursuable if personal injury occurs as a result of this.
Even an office may be the scene of an electrified accident at work, if wiring or equipment has not been appropriately maintained. And stranger incidents have occurred, such as the 2008 case of a horse that was electrocuted after engineers accidentally damaged a major cable which had caused the ground to become live. The rider was protected by the rubber soles of her riding boots.
