If you are injured on the job due to unsafe equipment, you need to contact an attorney immediately. Employers have a responsibility to provide a work environment free from hazards, including safe equipment. When they fail to do this, they can be held liable for resulting injuries. Separately, the manufacturer of the unsafe equipment may also be liable for the defective product. Any time you are injured at a worksite, you should notify your superior, file a report, and seek emergency medical treatment. Your right to compensation can be affected if you fail to follow the proper protocols or do not continue recommended treatment, including rehabilitation and therapy. It is always in your best interest to consult with a lawyer if you suffer an electrocution injury on the job. An insurance company may try to get you to settle quickly for the least amount of money.
