Types Of Electrocution Injuries
Depending on the source of electricity, victims could suffer from one of four types of injury:
- Lightning Injury: Lightning strikes are the most common cause of this type of injury, though any high voltage, low duration charge could cause a similar result. Most of the damage in these types of injuries is limited to the outside of the body.
- Flame Injury: This type of injury occurs when the victim’s clothing or other material catches fire due to the electrical charge and causes burns.
- Flash Injury: This type of injury occurs when the victim’s injuries are limited to their skin and outer layers.
- True Electrical Injury: This type of injury occurs when the electrical charge can flow in one part of the victim’s body and out through another, turning the victim into a part of the electrical circuit.
