Whether you’re a construction worker, electrician or power line worker, your daily job duties can put you at risk of electrocution accidents.

If you’ve been injured due to electrocution in El Paso or throughout New Mexico, you have the right to seek compensation for your workplace injuries.
Fighting For Your Rights
Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe work environment for their employees. This includes contract workers who may be on a job site temporarily. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that employers must provide adequate and timely training, along with the necessary protective equipment, to prevent electrocution accidents. Basic safety precautions, such as proper lighting, equipment maintenance and enclosures, are essential to creating safer work environments for all employees.
When workplace electrocution occurs due to employer negligence or failure to meet safety standards, you can pursue legal action. At MIJ, our experienced attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal complexities associated with electrocution injuries. We will fight vigorously on your behalf to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
