Electrocution accidents can happen at home, at work, and almost anywhere electricity is used. When negligence may be involved, the sooner our wrongful death attorneys know about it, the sooner we can begin an investigation into what caused the electrocution and why.
- Tree trimmers or utility workers in bucket trucks (cherry picker trucks) may strike a live power line and receive a killing jolt of electricity. Sometimes the wrong equipment, like an uninsulated bucket, may also play a part in the fatal accident.
- If the grounding wires fail in a home appliance or workplace equipment, the result can be severe electrical burns or electrocution. Was the manufacturer responsible? Was maintenance improperly done?
- On a construction site, wiring is often temporary, but it must also be safe. Was the wiring done improperly? Was too big a load placed on the wiring? Were frayed wires in contact with water, metal or chemicals?
- Athletic practice fields can be dangerous when lightning is present. Coaches are responsible for clearing the field when lives are in danger from lightning strikes.
Manufacturers of electrical appliances and equipment are responsible for ensuring that the wiring is properly installed and safe. Electricians at a work site or in a home are responsible for the safe installation of wiring. Employers bear responsibility for maintaining a safe work environment. School districts have an obligation to keep students out of unsafe situations.
