Establishing Fault in an Electrical Injury Case
Whether it’s your neighbor’s house, a local business, or your employer, property owners and power companies do not always take the necessary precautions to make the property safe from electrocution. As a result, accidents may occur due to the following conditions:
- Bad connections
- Loose power lines
- Faulty or outdated equipment
- Improper installation
- Failure to provide proper signage
- Inadequate lighting and facilities
- Exposure to electrical wiring
When property owners neglect the building or grounds or violate residential or commercial building codes, they put others at risk of injury or fatality. If your accident occurred as the result of owner negligence, then you deserve compensation for your damages. Marko Law can investigate the accident to establish fault and liability so that you don’t get stuck paying for your medical bills or other expenses.
