It depends on where this happened:
- Your own home. It’s not that simple here; you can only sue someone who you consider to be at fault for what happened. If you can prove that the electrical installation company was at fault, then you will certainly have grounds to file a claim.
- Rented property: Your landlord has a duty to keep things like electrical systems safe. You may have a strong case.
- At work: Your employer is responsible for providing a safe environment. You should be able to claim.
- In a public place: The business or organisation responsible for the premises might be liable.
- Even a small shock can be serious: Electrical injuries aren't always visible, and they might have lasting effects. Get medical advice ASAP.
How "it happens" can help:
- Assess your case: We'll work out who might be at fault and if you have grounds for a claim.
- Gather evidence: This could include medical reports, electrician's assessments, etc.
- Get you the right compensation: Your claim should factor in lost earnings, medical costs, and the emotional impact.
