Best Answer

It is unlikely that you would get shocked from a broken light switch, since they are always made from non-conducting plastic. If you open it up and try to fix it, you might get shocked then. If you turn off the correct circuit breaker or fuse, you can avoid getting shocked when you work on your broken light switch - but if you don't know what you are doing, get a qualified electrician to do it for you. Electrocution is no joke.
