Houston Texas Work Place Electrocutions

Workers injured or killed when contacting overhead power lines is a growing problem in this country causing many work place injuries. Frequently the rapid pace of construction and need to finish a job get in the way of workers’ safety. Usually, workers compensation insurance provides medical benefits and income replacement. Often, a third party may be partially or entirely liable for a worker’s electrocution. One of our jobs at Klitsas & Vercher, P.C is to find these potentially responsible third parties and recover maximum compensation for our clients.

Responsibility of Power Companies

Overhead power lines are extremely dangerous to the general public. Power companies generally owe a duty to the public to use care in the installation and maintenance of their power lines. Power lines which are too close to the ground or run too close to a residence are examples of potential dangers to the public. Wrongful death, burns and other catastrophic injuries frequently are the result.
