Illinois Injury Attorneys Representing Burn Injury Victims
Electricians, construction workers and other laborers who work around power lines or electrical equipment are most often the victims of electrical shock injuries and electrocution. At Anesi Ozmon, we have firsthand knowledge of the devastation caused by electrical injuries. Our firm has helped thousands of construction workers, electricians, union workers and other people who have had their lives turned upside down by serious injuries involving electricity.
The high current from an electrical shock can cause paralysis, tissue damage, severe burns, scarring, brain injury, neurological damage, irregular heart beat and death.
