Electrical Accidents & Injuries

Unsafe handling of electricity can result in fatal electrocution accidents or severe electrical shocks and burns.  In the workplace, in public places, and at home, unsafe electrical installation or usage can result in deadly injuries.  For example, when an electrical product manufacturer fails to incorporate safety features, the result can be an electrical shock and burn.  When an electrician fails to properly install wiring, injuries can result.
