Electrocutions & Electric Injuries
Electric injuries are extremely dangerous, resulting in burns, nerve damage, heart attacks, respiratory failure or often, death. Most electric injuries are preventable. Federal and state codes and standards govern the ways in which electricity may be distributed and used safely to avoid electrocution accidents. Most electric injuries are caused by:
- Building a structure too close to uninsulated power lines
- Incorrectly insulating an electrical line
- Failing to wire buildings and other structures to code
- Wiring industrial equipment or household appliances incorrectly
- Improperly maintaining equipment
- Failing to comply with safety regulations
- Weather-related incidents such as lightning and downed power lines
If you or a loved one are victims of an electric injury caused by someone else's negligence, it is important to contact a knowledgeable lawyer immediately. Attorneys at Twiggs, Beskind, Strickland and Rabenau have the experience needed to pursue your claim diligently.
