What Is an Electric Shock Injury Claim?
An electric shock injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have suffered harm due to exposure to electricity at work, in public places, or even at home as a result of someone else’s negligence. Electrical accidents can cause burns, nerve damage, heart complications, and in the most severe cases, fatalities.
Employers, landlords, contractors, and utility providers all have a duty of care to ensure electrical systems, equipment, and wiring are properly installed, tested, and maintained. If they fail in this duty and you are injured, you may be entitled to compensation.
Who Can Claim for Electric Shock Injuries?
You may be eligible to claim if you were:
• Injured by faulty electrical equipment or exposed wiring at work
• Exposed to unsafe electrical installations in rented accommodation
• A contractor, agency worker, or visitor injured on unsafe premises
• A member of the public injured due to poorly maintained electrics in shops, offices, or public buildings
• A family member making a claim on behalf of someone who has died due to electrocution

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
