According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 166 electrical fatalities and 1,900 non-fatal electrical injuries across the United States in 2019.
Florida, being a large and populous state, contributes significantly to the national figures. The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) reports that Florida consistently ranks among the states with higher numbers of electrical injuries and fatalities.
While specific county-level data might not always be publicly available, Miami-Dade County, which includes the city of Miami, has a high rate of construction activity and infrastructure development, leading to a higher likelihood of electrical injuries.
Miami's susceptibility to hurricanes and severe storms increases the risk of electrical injuries. Power outages and downed power lines during these events often lead to accidents and injuries.
The construction industry is particularly vulnerable. In Miami, a significant portion of electrical injuries occur in this sector due to the ongoing development and renovation projects.
Electrical injuries can have severe, life-altering consequences. Whether you’ve experienced an electric shock from faulty wiring, suffered burns from a downed power line, or endured an arc flash incident at work, you may have grounds for an electrocution injury claim.

When an arc flash generates intense heat and light, without current passing through the body. These injuries primarily result in external burns to exposed areas like the face and hands. The extreme heat can cause severe thermal burns, potentially leading to disfigurement and requiring extensive medical treatment.
When an electrical current ignites clothing or nearby flammable materials. These injuries combine the effects of electrical exposure with traditional flame burns. Victims may suffer from both the initial electrical contact and the subsequent fire. Treatment often involves electrical and thermal burn aspects, requiring specialized burn unit care.
When an electrical current passes through the body. These are often the most severe type, causing internal damage to tissues, organs, and the nervous system. Symptoms can range from cardiac arrhythmias and muscle damage to neurological problems and internal burns. The severity depends on factors like current strength, pathway through the body, and duration of contact. These injuries often require immediate, intensive medical intervention.
Miami’s diverse urban landscape creates an environment where electrical hazards can be found in unexpected places. From bustling construction sites to aging electrical systems in historic neighborhoods, the risk of electrocution injuries is significant.
The consequences can be severe and life-altering, ranging from electrical burns and nerve damage to cardiac arrhythmias and neurological impairments. Many survivors also experience chronic pain, long-term disability, or psychological distress.
