At Mendez Isaac Joudi, PLLC, our employee accident lawyers understand the serious, life-altering consequences of electrocution injuries: burns, disfigurement, nervous system damage, and abnormal heart contractions among them. If you were injured by electrocution in El Paso or anywhere in New Mexico, you have the right to seek compensation for your workplace injuries.
Your employer's obligations
Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe work environment for their employees, including contract workers who may be on a job site only temporarily. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that employers provide adequate and timely training, along with the necessary protective equipment, to prevent electrocution accidents.
Basic safety precautions, proper lighting, equipment maintenance, and enclosures, are essential to a safer workplace for everyone. They are not optional, and they are not expensive compared to what their absence costs a worker and a family.
Fighting for your rights
When a workplace electrocution happens because an employer was negligent or failed to meet safety standards, you can pursue legal action.
