Electrical Shock & Electrocution Lawyer

Investigating High-Voltage Negligence

We represent individuals harmed by improper electrical installations and faulty utility maintenance.

Proving Liability Through Forensic Investigation

Electrical injuries are rarely random; they are typically the direct result of a breakdown in professional maintenance or a violation of established safety codes. Our advocacy centers on a rigorous investigative process designed to uncover evidence of "hidden" negligence, such as improper grounding, sub-standard insulation, or the failure to de-energize equipment. We look for the "paper trail" of ignored maintenance logs and skipped safety inspections that lead to lethal conditions. Whether the cause was an unshielded transformer or a contractor’s failure to follow "Lock Out, Tag Out" (LOTO) procedures, we focus on proving that the defendant had the means and the duty to prevent the hazard.

Our team is available to help evaluate the technical failures of your incident and investigate potential sources of recovery.

Case Examples

  • Contact with a downed power line that was not properly de-energized.
  • A person injured by an improperly grounded swimming pool light.
  • A retail business hired an unlicensed handyman for complex wiring repairs, resulting in an energized metal door frame that injured a customer.
  • A contractor failed to establish a continuous permanent path to ground for a commercial electrical system, resulting in an energized metal framework.

Key Legal Points

  • Liability can extend to utility companies if they fail to maintain power lines.
  • Internal injuries from electricity may require specialized medical evaluation.
  • Technical experts are often needed to determine the origin of an electrical fault.
