How can we help?
Experiencing a severe electrical burn that results in an amputation can be an incredibly traumatic and life-altering experience. Whether such injuries occur in the workplace, public space, or even at home due to faulty equipment – the consequences can be devastating, both physically and emotionally. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to make a severe electrical burn amputation claim.
At Stephensons, our specialist serious injury solicitors have extensive experience dealing with complex and catastrophic injury claims, including those involving amputations resulting from electrical burns. We are here to help you recover the compensation you deserve and support you on the path to rebuilding your life.
A severe electrical burn injury occurs when the body comes into direct or indirect contact with a high-voltage electrical source, often resulting in deep tissue damage that can extend to muscles, nerves, and bones. These burns often require extensive medical treatment, surgery, and long-term rehabilitation. In some cases, the damage sustained is so extreme that amputation of a limb is the only option to save the person’s life or prevent further complications.
Severe electrical burns can happen in various non-medical settings, particularly in certain work environments such as construction, manufacturing, or maintenance roles where contact with faulty wiring or exposed electrical systems may occur. They can also happen in public places due to poorly maintained infrastructure, or in homes due to defective consumer products.
If you or a loved one has suffered an amputation due to a severe electrical burn caused by someone else’s negligence – whether an employer, building owner, product manufacturer, or contractor – you may be eligible to bring a compensation claim. Compensation can help cover costs such as loss of earnings, medical expenses, prosthetics, ongoing care needs, and emotional trauma.
To pursue a claim, it must be shown that the injury resulted from a breach of duty of care. This could involve failure to follow health and safety regulations, provide adequate training or equipment, or maintain premises and electrics to a safe standard. At Stephensons, we will work with you to gather evidence, speak with expert witnesses, and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
