Need an experienced electrocution injury attorney in Illinois or Indiana? An electrocution is most often thought of as a freak accident, an act of nature. Someone is struck by lightning on a basketball court or a wet football field.
In truth, most electrocutions are caused by unsafe, unmonitored conditions. Many victims die from electrocution. For those that survive, the victim can suffer both physical and psychological effects of burns for many years, such as painful scarring and physical deformity.
Additionally, many survivors of electrocution suffer the permanent effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can be both catastrophic and subtle in its effects on a person. Headaches, short-term memory loss, and mood swings are some of the minor results of TBI that can destroy the victim’s life. More serious brain injuries can result in severe harm, such as partial paralysis and severe mental illness (e.g., chemical depression or schizophrenia).
At the Indiana and Illinois injury law firm of Allen Law Group, our attorneys are experienced in pursuing electrocution cases and are familiar with experts who are needed to testify to cause of the electrocution.

For clients suffering from catastrophic injuries, a physician specializing in rehabilitative medicine will map out a “life care plan” that shows the victim’s needs in terms of dollars, taking into account medical inflation and quality of life.
