Establishing Liability
Electrocution cases often involve multiple liable parties including the property owner, the employer, the electrical contractor, and the equipment manufacturer. Building code violations, failure to de energize circuits before work, and lack of proper lockout tagout procedures are common bases for negligence claims. The complex medical effects of electrocution, including delayed neurological symptoms, require expert testimony from both electrical engineers and medical specialists.
Relevant Texas Law
Texas Health and Safety Code and the National Electrical Code as adopted by Texas municipalities establish the safety standards for electrical systems in buildings and construction sites. OSHA electrical safety standards under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K apply to construction sites in Texas and establish specific requirements for working near energized circuits. Texas property owners owe a duty to maintain safe electrical systems under premises liability principles, and utility companies can be held liable for failing to respond to downed power lines.
