Electrocution-Accidents Representing Injured Workers Suffering from Electrocution Injury

The number of work-related accidental electrocution victims continues to rise. Frequently, employer negligence is the cause when a worker is killed or seriously injured after contacting power lines and exposed electrical sources. Most on the job injuries that occur in Texas are covered by the workers' compensation laws of Texas. And while workers' compensation provides some compensation for an injured worker's monetary losses and provides benefits to dependants in death by electrocution cases, the benefits are often insufficient. When we handle a work-related electrocution, we start our investigation by determining whether a third party can additionally be held responsible for a work-related electrocution.

Helping Consumers Deal with the Effects of Electrocution

Defective products cause an alarming number of electrocution injuries. If you were electrocuted while using a hair dryer, household appliance, power tool or any other product that runs on electricity, you may have the right to file a claim against the designer, manufacturer and distributor of the product to recover your medical expenses, loss earnings, loss of enjoyment and pain and suffering.

Contact with overhead power lines accounts for approximately two-fifths of fatal electrocutions. Electric companies know how dangerous power lines are, yet individuals are electrocuted with alarming frequency. Electric companies have a general duty to the public to:

• Properly install and maintain their wires
• Fix sags in power lines
• Keep power lines from running too close to a house
• Fix power lines that have been knocked down in a storm.

When the power company fails to exercise reasonable care in protecting the public in these situations, they can be held responsible.

Electrocution cases:

• Electrical Warnings
• Failure to Kill Electricity
• Inadequate Training
• Non-Insulated Wiring
• Power Line Cases
• Substandard Wiring
