Electric vehicles have been a godsend for the environment, and as the prices keep sinking lower and lower, more and more Americans are opting to buy full electric or hybrid vehicles. They are also more economical when compared to fuel prices, and the companies manufacturing them provide a network of charging stations across just about every town and major city, so you’re never out of reach of them, making driving these vehicles hundreds of miles a reality. That said, despite all the sleek ads, no tech is 100 percent safe, as is seen by the numerous news pieces across the country detailing how the battery of an electric car burst into flames, or how the car owner got electrocuted.

One of the most pertinent risks faced by EV owners is the risk of electrocution or burns when operating the charging station connectors; these connectors carry a large amount of charge which can also lead to thermal runaway in the station’s internal components, resulting in an explosive fire that may engulf you as you sit in the car or anyone else nearby.

Injuries from electric vehicles public charging station run the gamut – severe electrical burns, permanent nerve damage, cardiac arrhythmia and even lung damage. While the owners of these premises may point to the fact that there was a liability waiver that was implied the moment you pulled up to use the charging station, the reality is that these are meaningless against demonstrable product defects as well as property owner negligence. If you got injured or electrocuted at an EV charging station, read on to find out how we can help you get the justice and compensation you deserve wherever you are in the country.

Here’s how we prove that your EV charging station injuries were caused by negligence:

1. The property owner, such as the parking garage, or the shopping mall, or grocery store, has a non-delegable duty to ensure that any and all equipment on their property is safe and this includes things like hiring installers who are competent as well as carrying out routine safety inspections in order to fix any faults such as frayed cables, cracked housing and so on. Failure to do any of these constitutes gross negligence.
2. Sometimes, the fault can lie squarely on the manufacturer because of manufacturing and design defects such as faulty contactors, inadequate insulation, defective thermal management systems, and so on, all of which could lead to an electrical fault resulting in a fire or electrocution. Faulty design or not following proper manufacturing practices may be grounds for a product liability lawsuit.

Electrical injuries often attract extraordinary damages on account of their severity:

1. Catastrophic burn care, which includes lifelong treatment, reconstructive surgeries, nerve damage treatments, skin grafts, to name a few.
2. Neurological complications such as chronic pain syndromes due to permanent nerve injury as well as an increase risk of cardiac arrhythmias
3. Loss of future earning capacity due to functional disability hindering return to work
4. Pain and suffering on account of the trauma, PTSD and depression that follows shortly thereafter.
