Portland Electrocution Accident Attorney

Why Choose Us?

Our firm has been based in Corpus Christi for more than three decades, and we regularly represent injured people from Portland and other South Texas communities. We have handled high-stakes maritime and offshore accidents, refinery and oilfield incidents, industrial workplace injuries, premises liability cases, product defect claims, and wrongful death lawsuits. This background gives us a strong foundation for handling complex electrocution cases that may involve similar issues and defendants.

Our attorneys, Blake Brunkenhoefer and Michael Mathis, bring significant trial credentials to every case. Blake is licensed in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico and is admitted before several U.S. district courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. He is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and the Multimillion Dollar Advocates Forum. Our firm holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale Hubbell and has been recognized multiple years as a Texas Super Lawyer.

These honors are not just titles. They reflect years of courtroom work and a reputation that opposing counsel and insurers recognize. When we prepare an electrocution case for trial, we work to present a clear story about what went wrong, who failed to follow safety rules, and how the injury has affected every part of your life. This trial-ready approach often means insurers take your claim more seriously during negotiations.

Injuries & Compensation After Electrocution

Electrical injuries can be very different from other types of trauma. An electrocution can cause visible external burns, but it can also damage tissues, organs, nerves, and the cardiovascular system deep inside the body. Some people experience heart rhythm problems, respiratory issues, or seizures immediately after contact. Others develop chronic pain, muscle weakness, numbness, or cognitive and psychological symptoms over time.

Severe shocks may result in deep electrical burns that require multiple surgeries and skin grafts. Nerve and brain injuries can affect memory, balance, mood, and the ability to concentrate. In some cases, an electrocution leads to amputations, paralysis, or permanent disability. Families who lose a loved one face funeral costs and the emotional and financial impact of wrongful death.

When we evaluate an electrocution claim, we look beyond the initial hospital visit. We work to understand your full medical picture, including ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, medication needs, and possible future care. We also consider how the injury affects your ability to work, care for yourself, enjoy activities, and maintain relationships.

Depending on the facts and the law that applies, a claim may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, physical impairment, and loss of enjoyment of life. In fatal cases, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death and survival damages. Because our firm has recovered more than $200 million for injured clients across South Texas, we are familiar with the kinds of losses that can arise in catastrophic cases and work to present them clearly to insurers, judges, and juries.
