- Chronic pain
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Sensory and cognitive deficits

OSHA Safety Regulations and Employer Negligence
OSHA enforces strict safety regulations in the construction industry to protect workers from deadly electrocution accidents. However, some employers fail to maintain safe working environments and put their workers’ lives at risk by ignoring these regulations.
When injuries are caused by employer negligence, employees deserve to be compensated for their damages and losses.
According to OSHA, the most common causes of electrocution on construction sites include:
- Contact with overhead power lines
- Lack of ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection
- Improper grounding of electrical equipment
- Failure to follow manufacturers’ safety instructions
- Improper use of extension cords and flexible cords
If you’ve been injured in an electrocution accident caused by your employer’s failure to follow OSHA regulations or maintain a safe worksite, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ compensation benefits.
We Fight for the Compensation You Deserve
At Victory Law Group, we’re committed to helping you pursue full and fair compensation for your electrocution injury. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to recover damages including:
- Medical Costs – This includes expenses for emergency room visits, hospital stays, doctor appointments, diagnostic testing (such as MRIs), surgeries, rehabilitation, and other medical services.
- Lost Wages – If your injury has prevented you from working, you may recover the income you lost during your recovery period.
- Loss of Earning Capacity – If your injury is severe enough to impair your ability to work in the future or limits the type of work you can do, you may be entitled to compensation for future lost earnings.
- Pain and Suffering – In a personal injury claim against a third party, you may be compensated for non-economic damages such as physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
