We are one of the leading personal injury law firms in the state of Texas. Our attorneys have been representing electrocution victims and their families for more than fifty years. Due to our concentration on industrial, petrochemical and oil refineries, we have the skill and experience required to handle complex cases involving electrocutions and explosions.

Experienced Electrocution Lawyers

Electrocutions are far more common than most people realize. Nearly two fifths of all fatal electrocutions are caused by contact with power lines. The electric companies who own these lines have an obligation to properly install, maintain, and repair damaged power lines. Our attorneys have successfully handled a number of electrocution cases related to power lines.

Our Texas electrocution attorneys have handled many cases related to faulty consumer products. Products such as hair driers, household appliances, and power tools injure thousands of people every year. These cases are complex and difficult to win. Accessing whether the electrocution claim is against the product manufacturer, designer, or distributor often involves extensive investigation and document review. Increasing the difficulty of these cases is the fact that for financial and public relations reasons, companies tend to staunchly defend themselves against products liability claims, thus blaming the victim for the electrocution injury.

In addition to consumer products and power lines, there are a variety of other electrocution cases our firm is prepared to handle, including cases related to:

• Transformers
• Internal Transformers at Construction Sites
• Faulty Wiring
• Lack of Grounding
• Lack of Ground Fault Interrupters
• Lack of Proper Insulation
• Inadequately Maintained Electrical Boxes

Common traits in Electrocution Injuries

Whether caused by power lines, consumer electronics, or other causes, electrocutions often cause devastating injuries that often result in personal injury litigation and even wrongful death claims. What makes electrocution injuries unique is that they have two wounds, one where the electricity enters the body and one where the electricity leaves the body.

Electrocution exit wounds can cause serious injuries, including limb amputation. Since the electricity passes through the body, it is important to understand the totality of effects the burn has on muscles, veins, arteries, and nerves between the entry point and the point where the electricity left the body. Some of the common electrocution injuries include burns, nervous system disorders, deformity, brain injuries, paralysis, and death.

The electrocution attorneys at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels & Friend have extensive experience handling Texas electrocution cases. However, we do not rely solely on the skill and experience of our electrocution lawyers. Our firm has a team of medical professionals on staff including a doctor, nurse, and an attorney who has a Juris Doctor as well as a medical degree.
