$455,000 Settlement – Electrical Shock Construction Accident Workers' Comp

Two construction workers were installing a traffic sign when they contacted “live” overhead ComEd power lines and suffered severe electric shocks.

One worker sustained minor burns to his right foot, plus third-degree burns to his hands/fingers with significant soft-tissue loss, nerve injuries, tendon damage, and scarring, while the other also suffered third-degree burns to his right hand/fingers, left thumb, and left foot. We also secured full workers’ comp lien waivers.
