Arc Flash Burn Injury Claims
What Is a Flash Burn?
Arc flashes occur when there is a high-voltage difference across a gap
between conductors, causing powerful currents travel through the air and release
tremendous amounts of energy. Temperatures as high as 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hotter than
the surface of the sun, have been recorded in arch flashes, destroying
skin, melting metal, and potentially igniting clothing, leading to further
burns. The pressure wave blast of these electrical catastrophes can also
carry up to 1000 pounds of force, causing nearby individuals to be thrown
about and possibly suffer hearing loss.
Arc flash burns can be caused by any of the following:
- Outdated or worn electrical equipment
- Unlocked electrical vaults and transformers
- Improper training of electrical workers
- Inadequate safety supervision

burn injuries are caused by open flames. High-voltage electrical arcs can be equally
devastating, resulting in severe thermal burns that destroy skin and tissue
as well as well as trauma from the force accompanying such a flash, which
