Electricity is a powerful force that has to be handled with care. When a subcontractor installs dangerous temporary wiring or when a utility pole fails because of improper maintenance, the result can be serious electrical burns or electrocution. The law offices of Keller & Keller understand the technology that leads to electrical accidents. We also understand the medical issues involved.

• When a utility pole rots and collapses causing an electrocution, the subcontractor responsible for pole maintenance can be held accountable.
• A worker in a poorly insulated bucket truck can suffer electrical burns or electrocution while working on live power lines. When a crane operator or backhoe or jackhammer cuts through an underground cable, workers can be electrocuted.
• A cable in an excavation could be declared to be dead (not carrying electricity), and in reality it could still be live and cause the electrocution of a worker.
• Temporary wiring installed at a construction site can turn a puddle of water into a dangerous electrified pool that will terribly injure workers.

Many electrocution and electrical burn accidents cause a wrongful death. Other electrical burns require a long, painful, difficult recovery and, in many cases, lifelong disability. At the Keller & Keller law firm, our attorneys have the experience and determination to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve.
