When a construction worker is burned, falls due to an electric shock or is electrocuted, the worker may suffer damage to both their external skin and internal organs, including the brain and heart. Even when an Atlanta electrocution accident only results in a minor wound, the worker may have actually sustained major damage to their internal tissues and nervous system.
