In general, human beings can survive high voltage electrical shocks. For most individuals, this is anywhere in the vicinity of 50,000 volts. If a person experiences a shock at his or her maximum tolerance, they may experience severe injuries. One common way in which individuals suffer electrical shocks is by using faulty electrical products.
Many products require a great deal of electricity to operate, so when they malfunction, electricity may become redirected toward the product's user. Most often, this happens when an electrical cord is faulty. This may mean that the wire is exposed, improperly shielded, or incorrectly connected. When this is the case, individuals may have tens of thousands of volts of electricity pulse through their bodies.
An electrical shock may cause an individual to suffer from many injuries. It may give an individual an electrical burn, disrupt their heartbeat, or cause him or her permanent nerve damage. Each of these injuries may result in long-term medical complications. Worse yet, individuals may pass away from their injuries. Regardless of whether the individual suffers an injury or passes away, the victim or the family may be entitled to benefits/compensation from the faulty product manufacturer.
It is important to note that the obvious party to blame in a product liability case is not always the correct target. As such, individuals are encouraged to discuss their cases with an experienced product liability attorney before taking any legal action. A product liability attorney can help an individual identify the party responsible for his or her injuries and help that individual build their case.
