Negligent or poor electrical work on a construction site can create multiple hazards for workers and others, even after the project is complete. Exposed wiring or other mistakes can cause electrocution injuries, such as severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, heart attacks and internal injuries. In many cases, wrongful death is the result. If construction defects cause an electrocution injury, then victims and their families may be able to seek compensation from the at-fault company.
