This is why we have PLI, or the Crown's equivalent.
50,000V across one's body is an injury.

My old lodger serviced and installed street lights. He was sent out to remove a light which had been hit by a car and supposedly had been made safe by one of his colleagues.
It wasn't, and the lampost had electrified the phone box next to it, which he brushed against and was thrown against the side of his van.
In your book he wasn't injured, yet he recieved compensation for their negligence and the pain he suffered.
