Electrical Arc Or Explosion Accidents And Burn Injuries

Electrical system arc events or explosions and fires can cause some of the most severe, painful and devastating personal injuries. These events usually occur on work sites or in construction projects when the building owner or general contractor fails to properly safeguard the electrical system and an unknowing or untrained worker contacts a live electrical system causing the explosion or electrocution. Sometimes, the explosion or fire occurs when a building owner does not properly maintain, update or repair its electrical system. There are strict rules and regulations under the New York State Labor Law and Industrial Code, as well as the National Electric Code that has been adopted by many municipalities in New York that must be followed by building owners and construction contractors to protect workers and residents of their buildings. When these regulations are violated, the results can be devastating.

If you have suffered a personal injury as the result of a fire, an electrocution, an electrical arc or explosion, you may be entitled to worker’s compensation benefits, disability benefits and compensation for your pain and suffering, scarring and emotional injuries. Burns are some of the most painful and disfiguring injuries you can suffer. Do not let the responsible parties get away with their neglect. The laws exist to protect you—the injured party. They exist to require the people and entities in the position of authority and control to protect you from these dangerous events.
