Electrocution & Burn Injury Lawyer: Alarming New Electrical Burn Injury & Death Cases

December, 2023: Thousands of Oklahomans are seriously injured or killed each year by accidental electrocution from faulty wiring, defective household appliances, low hanging utility wires, bad extension cords, faulty GFI receptacles, and improperly wired or poorly repaired lighting devices, such as swimming pool lights.

Electrical Burns are extremely dangerous for Oklahoma children. Experts say one of the factors that determine how 'serious' an electrical burn will be is the amount of resistance the body exerts against the electrical current, the less the resitance, the worse the burns will be, and the higher the possibility of death.

One national case involves a young boy who died from being electrocuted in his family's swimming pool by a recently repaired pool light.

Low Hanging Utility Power Wires are Extremely Dangerous, and because of the high voltage current that runs through these wires, accidental conact can cause catastrophic injuries, and even death.

Experts estimate that almost 1 percent of all accidental deaths occur from some form of electrocution.

As of December, 2023 thousands of Oklahoma families are exposed to possible electrocution each and every day. Whether it's at work with unsafe construction conditions or defective power tools; at home with improperly wired GFI outlets or defective kitchen appliances; or in school with aging building wiring & outlets or electrical devices.

There is a strict Oklahoma Statute of Limitations relating to any burn injury that limits the amount of time you have to file a legal claim.
