Psychological Injury From Electric Shock At Work

Electric shock accident on railway line causes psychological injury

This psychological injury compensation claim followed an accident sustained during repair work to a railway line.

Our client was using a drill while working on the railway. Of course, the current should have been switched off before any work was carried out ... but this hadn't been done.

So when the drill came into contact with the live rail, the inevitable happened and our client suffered a very nasty electric shock.

The result of this - apart from the physical injuries - was that he started having nightmares and flashbacks.

At this point he approached Dominic Goward & Co. as it was clear that only a specialised Personal Injury Solicitor would be able to ensure that he received the compensation he was entitled to.

We obtained expert medical evidence on the long-term effects of electric shock, and a report from a Consultant Psychiatrist detailing the psychological injuries our client had suffered.

As a result - despite the initial objections of the railway company - we were able to negotiate a settlement of £30,000.00 plus legal costs on our client's behalf.
