Has a family member been electrocuted at work or due to a defective product? Electrocution accident lawyers in Texas are ready to discuss your case and offer a free case review.

Electrocution Injury LawyersThe number of work-related accidental electrocution victims continues to rise. Frequently, employer negligence is the cause when a worker is killed or seriously injured after contacting power lines and exposed electrical sources.  Most on the job injuries that occur in Texas are covered by the workers' compensation laws of Texas.  And while workers' compensation provides some compensation for an injured worker's monetary losses and provides benefits to dependants in death by electrocution cases, the benefits are often insufficient.

Jim S. Adler & Associates helps people deal with electrocution aftermath

Defective products cause an alarming number of electrocution injuries.  If you were electrocuted while using a hair dryer, household appliance, power tool or any other product that runs on electricity, you may have the right to file a claim against the designer, manufacturer and distributor of the product to recover your medical expenses, loss earnings, loss of enjoyment and pain and suffering. Contact Jim S. Adler & Associates for help.

Contact with overhead power lines accounts for approximately two-fifths of  electrocutions. Electric companies know how dangerous power lines are; yet individuals are electrocuted with alarming frequency.  Electric companies have a general duty to the public to:

  • Properly install and maintain their wires
  • Fix sags in power lines
  • Keep power lines from running too close to a house
  • Fix power lines that have been knocked down in a storm

When the power company fails to exercise reasonable care in protecting the public in these situations, they can be held responsible.

Electrocution cases can evolve from the following:

  • Electrical Warnings
  • Failure to Kill Electricity
  • Inadequate Training
  • Non-Insulated Wiring
  • Power Line Cases
  • Substandard Wiring
