Buckeye, AZ – Man Electrocuted on Job Site at Sundance Pkwy & Yuma Rd
Buckeye, AZ (October 18, 2019) – A man was rushed to the hospital after a serious work accident in Buckeye Thursday morning.
According to a report from the Buckeye Police Department, the man was transported to an area hospital after being injured from an electric shock at a construction site near Sundance Parkway and Yuma Road. The man was working at the construction site when he was shocked by high-voltage lines in the area. It appears that local fire rescue units and EMTs arrived at the scene around 9:00 a.m. to begin performing life-saving measures before air-lifting the man to a local area hospital.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and his family in hopes of a full recovery.
Workplace Injuries in Arizona
Serious injuries on the job site can be common, particularly in construction areas where workers often operate heavy machinery and equipment. Furthermore, these injurious work incidents often result in fatal consequences, with nearly 40 workplace deaths in Arizona last year.
Victims and families are often left with financial difficulties and emotional trauma following work injuries. In fact, employers may attempt to cover up the incident or avoid paying a victim’s fair compensation after workplace injuries on the job site, especially when companies are at fault for the incident. If you have suffered in a work accident caused by an employer’s negligence, you should contact a personal injury attorney to review your options.
