How Attorneys Handle Electrocution Injury Cases to Establish Third Party Liability

High voltage injury cases are complicated. A significant effort may be needed to establish liability. When our attorneys take on electrocution injury cases, we examine the third party liability of the property owner, the utility company, any contractor or equipment operator, and even contractors responsible for past maintenance or repairs made to the power lines in question.

Our aggressive attorneys know how to comb through maintenance records and other logs to get the facts that will support a client's case.

Employees who work with overhead power lines are at a high risk for electrocution injury. Contact with overhead lines accounts for about two-fifths of all fatal electrocutions. The most common shock-related injury is a burn.

There are three types of burns resulting from electrical accidents:

  • Arc burns
  • Electrical burns
  • Thermal contact burns
