Birmingham Electrocution Lawyers
What Happens in Electrocution and Electric Shock Injury Litigation?
In a fatal electric shock, often called an electrocution, an individual’s vital organs are severely damaged and the heart goes into fibrillation causing it to stop. In a non-fatal exposure to an electric shock, the body can still suffer damage to the heart, the lungs, skin burns, as well as psychological damage.
Quite often, people are exposed to electric shock in most places open to the public such as malls, office buildings, the work place, amusement parks and construction sites. If severe enough, an electric shock can affect the nervous system causing various brain, spinal cord and motor sensory damage. Additionally, it can also cause paralysis including paraplegia and quadriplegia.
Many construction deaths and serious injuries in the country are caused by electric shock. Electric shock injuries at the workplace can be a major problem for many corporations that deal with manufacturing or high voltage equipment such as forklifts, backhoes, conductors, and other potentially dangerous electrical equipment. There are numerous federal and state standards/regulations pertaining to electrical power systems that address the prevention of electrocutions and/or electric shock injuries.
Over the years, our firm has represented numerous individuals that sustained electric shock injuries and/or were electrocuted.
If you or someone you know has been killed or injured by an electrical shock, contact our office and ask to speak to attorney J. Chris Cochran.
What Do Our Clients Say?
Ruth Weakley
I highly recommend this law firm. I was always kept informed of any progress in my case. Any time I called them my concerns were met. Attorney Jon Mann was always very through in his responses. I can't thank this law firm for taking excellent care of my case.
Lee Huffstutler
Outstanding firm! Extremely pleased with the service, consistency & hard work of the firm as a whole and Michael Bradley as my representative.

Larry Smith
I have nothing but great things to say about this firm. Initially I mostly spoke to Rebecca & she made me feel very comfortable in a stressful situation. Later many of my calls were with Jon Mann & he also spoke to me with respect & thoughtfulness. Kind of strange but a close bond between lawyers & a client but not only did we discuss the matter at hand but we would discuss our personal lives & the good & bad going on in my life & their concern for my health was comforting. I would definitely recommend this firm! Keep up the great work guys.
Doris M.
I feel very fortunate to have met this firm. During the first conference, my attorney made me feel totally at ease when sharing my situation with him. He has a way about him that makes you feel his sincerity and honesty. Thank you for taking my burden and for the wonderful job that you did to complete my case successfully. I am VERY PLEASED!
Cathye H.
My case was one that was a part of a nationwide claim. I researched and prayed for the appropriate attorney and I found that in Mike Bradley. While my case lasted, Mike and his assistant Karen stayed current and knowledgeable on the status and updates. I never once called or emailed that one of them didn't respond to me immediately. Mike would call to answer an email because he felt it would be more personal and efficient than typing. I highly recommend this firm.
Tyna B.

Emily W.
I was very pleased with the work that Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann did for us. I had been injured in a car accident and was in quite a bit of pain for sometime. They always treated me like a person and not a case—never failed to return a call and kept us apprised of what was going on. I had a time when I had to be totally focused on recovery, they were able to take care of the situation and I didn’t have to worry about it. I owe this firm a lot of thanks.
