A recurring cause of electrocution resulting in injury or death is work performed in the vicinity of energized power lines. New construction, demolition of existing structures, or maintenance activities such as painting, HVAC or roof repairs may bring workers into contact with these potentially deadly objects. Often, work cannot be safely completed without properly identifying, insulating, or de-energizing the wires. In certain cases, the owner of the wires; either the Power Company or the property owner, can be held responsible for failing to take these actions to protect workers.

The attorneys at Balzarini & Watson have experience with electrocution injuries and have successfully handled many cases involving serious electrocution injuries or deaths.

If you or a loved one suffered an electrocution injury at work, you may be eligible to receive money for your medical expenses, missed wages, noneconomic damages, and ongoing medical care.
