What types of electric shock injuries can I claim for?
Electric shock accidents can take place in both working or public spaces. These accidents can cause significant physical and psychological distress to an individual and in the most severe cases, can be fatal.
When someone suffers an electric shock, the voltage interrupts electrical currents flowing between the brain and the body. The risk of electrical injury is greater for someone who comes into contact with higher voltages and the severity of the accident depends on a number of factors such as:
- How damp the individual was
- The type of electrical source that caused the accident (power socket, cables, appliance)
- The length of time they were exposed to electricity
Serious Injuries Caused by Electric Shocks
Electrical Burns: Electrical currents can heat tissue along the path of the current. These injuries often run deep within the body and may require surgery to repair. Burns can lead to permanent scarring and, in severe cases, amputation of the affected area.
Nerve Damage and Cardiac Arrest: Electric shocks can interrupt heart rhythms or cause violent muscle spasms. This may result in long-term nerve damage, dislocations, fractures, loss of consciousness, or even fatality.
Psychological Trauma: Victims of electric shock injuries may also suffer from psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Common Causes of Electric Shock Accidents at Work
Electric shock accidents at work aren’t limited to electricians — anyone using electrical tools, machinery or working near power sources is at risk. These incidents can happen in construction, manufacturing, offices, and other settings.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must provide a safe working environment, including proper training, PPE, and regular risk assessments.
Common causes of workplace electric shock accidents include:
- Exposed electrical components
- Poor maintenance of equipment or machinery
- Wet surfaces or spillages
- Power surges
- Incorrect or faulty earthing
If you’ve suffered an electric shock at work, you may still have a claim even if your exact situation isn’t listed. Our personal injury solicitors can assess your case and guide you on the next steps.
