Electrocutions and electrical injuries are often considered to be "freak accidents." In fact, there is usually some identifiable negligence by a responsible party such as the following:
- A property owner
- A landlord
- A builder
- A manufacturer
- A subcontractor
- A repair or maintenance service
- A product manufacturer
- A utility company
Seemingly "freak" accidents involving electricity do, in fact, cause serious injury or death. Even in these cases, liability can often be determined through a detailed investigation.
Seigel Capozzi Law Firm LLC represented a young girl who suffered near-catastrophic electrical injuries when she was playing with a discarded or stray TV antenna and made contact with overhead wires in the street. Did storms cause the antenna to be loose on the ground? Or did a careless and negligent property owner fail to prevent this tragedy by disposing of the TV antenna properly? Ultimately, our law firm succeeded in holding a landlord responsible for this serious electrical injury — and the young girl received compensation to cover medical bills and acknowledge pain and suffering.
Sometimes a detailed investigation can uncover the cause of a serious, catastrophic or fatal accident involving electricity. An experienced personal injury attorney is a valuable source of information and assistance to accident victims and their families after an electrical injury or an electrocution (a fatal electrical shock).
