Electrical Shock Injury Litigation... Across the United States, electrical injuries result in about 1,000 deaths per year and about 3,000 admissions to burn centers per year, with many due to the negligence of others. Up to 40% of serious electrical injuries are fatal. Electric shock injuries are caused by many ways such as accidental contact with the exposed parts of electrical appliances, children playing with electric cords and plugs, faulty electrical outlets, exposed high voltage wires, digging or drilling into power lines, or by accidental exposure to high voltage lines.
Electrical injuries have become a more common form of trauma with a distinct pathophysiology. Such injuries are of several types, such as: lightning injury, high-voltage injury, and low-voltage injury. The injuries result from direct effects of current, from conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy as the current passes through the body tissues, which unfortunately is a good conductor of electricity, and from secondary effects. The severity of injury is determined by the voltage, current intensity, types of current, the current pathway, the duration of exposure, the resistance of the tissues, contact surface, and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
