The dedicated and committed attorneys at Cicardo Law Office , in Lafayette, Louisiana, handle a wide range of personal injuries matters for people throughout Louisiana. Electrocution remains a major cause of deaths in construction. Part of the reason is that, at home and on the job, we take electricity for granted. This can lead to familiarity and a false sense of security. Relying on the benefits of electricity, we may forget its hazards. Fires, explosions, electrocution, electrical shock, thermal and chemical burns can result in serious life long impairments or death.

Independently, or in conjunction with electrocution, thousands of people suffer from serious burns that have occurred due to the negligence or recklessness of others. Burns can result in long and painful rehabilitation, scars, disfigurement, and, in some cases, death. Burns are categorized according to their severity:

• First degree burns are minor burns of the first layer of skin.
• Second degree burns are superficial partial-thickness burns injuring the first and second layer of skin.
• Third degree burns are serious burns injuring all the skin layers and tissue underneath.
