San Marcos Electrocution Injury Lawyer

Get medical attention first. Central Texas Medical Center (San Marcos) is the closest level of care most San Marcos clients use for serious cases, and a written record from the date of the incident is one of the most valuable pieces of evidence we ever obtain. From there, document the scene with photographs, collect contact information for any witness who saw what happened, and avoid giving any recorded statement to an insurance adjuster until you have spoken with a lawyer. Electrical burns at entry and exit points on the body often takes days to fully present, which is another reason early documentation matters.
