Understanding Electrocution Injury Cases

  • Contact with overhead power lines at construction sites
  • Defective wiring and electrical systems in buildings
  • Faulty appliances and consumer products
  • Improperly grounded equipment at workplaces
  • Downed power lines after storms left unattended by utility companies
  • Exposed electrical panels and junction boxes in commercial properties

Typical Injuries

  • Electrical burns at entry and exit points on the body
  • Cardiac arrhythmia and heart damage
  • Nerve damage and peripheral neuropathy
  • Muscle tissue destruction from electrical current passing through the body
  • Traumatic brain injury from electrical interference with brain function
  • Falls caused by the electrical shock impact

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.
