Electrocution Cases

FREE CASE REVIEW

Electrocutions occur more often than most people think, both in the workplace and at home.

Overhead power lines are often the cause. Many people are mistaken in the belief that overhead power lines are insulated to protect against electric shock. On the contrary, death and serious injury can occur if a ladder, antenna or other common household item comes in contact with the power line.

In the workplace, one of the most frequent causes of fatal injuries is crane booms hitting overhead power lines. It is the electric utility company's duty to prevent electric shock hazards.
