Catastrophic Electrical Injury & Electrocution Lawyers in South Carolina

This page is intended for catastrophic electrical injury and electrocution cases, including:

  • Severe electrical burns or arc-flash injuries

  • Permanent nerve damage or loss of function

  • Cardiac arrest, heart rhythm complications, or oxygen deprivation

  • Traumatic brain injury following electrocution

  • Fatal electrocution and wrongful death

If the injury caused permanent harm, long-term disability, or loss of life, this is the type of case we are equipped to handle.


Common Ways Catastrophic Electrical Injuries Happen

Serious electrical injuries often involve:

  • Contact with high-voltage power lines

  • Arc flash or arc blast incidents

  • Faulty or unguarded electrical equipment

  • Unsafe wiring in workplaces, job sites, or buildings

  • Downed power lines after storms

  • Electrical hazards in water or pool environments

  • Failure to follow lockout/tagout safety procedures

These cases are rarely simple, and they often involve multiple companies, insurers, and layers of responsibility.


Why These Cases Require the Right Team

Electrical injury cases are complex by nature.

They often require:

  • Early evidence preservation before conditions change

  • Technical analysis of electrical systems and safety failures

  • Coordination with medical and engineering experts

  • Careful handling of workers’ compensation and third-party claims

  • Communication with commercial insurers and corporate defendants

Our role is to step in early, shoulder your case's complexity, and protect families from being overwhelmed by a system that was never designed with them in mind.
